Cannot find my Ecobee Thermostat to add to dashboard

If you tap that, you will get a list of authorized devices, your thermostat should be there, check it and save.

Looks like @Sgt.Flippy_PJ has pointed you the right direction. There are also detailed step by step instructions in the linked post below. This is because SmartThings dropped the ‘thermostat’ capability and use the more specific thermostat related capabilities.

Hi @John_Sheedy, welcome to the community and sorry to hear that the thermostat was displayed as a temperature sensor, instead of the thermostat, for you. It seems a couple of the thermostat integrations, including Ecobee, has dropped the Thermostat capability in SmartThings. Can you please try to add your thermostat by following steps below?

Thanks James. The link you provided had ALL the information needed. I’m setting up two Locations for the first time. I’m sure I’ll be back…

You can use the Hero Attribute layout to display humidity values:

Alternatively, if you want more customization over the layout, Super Tiles are also available. Here’s an article describing the difference between the Hero Attribute layout and Super Tiles: https://help.sharptools.io/article/94-comparison-tiles-super-tiles-custom-tiles

That worked. Thank you!

Now that it’s added, the tile has a 75° in the center all the time. You can see that the thermostat is set to 74° on the tile and on the thermostat. What is the 75° represent?

I would try the Double Height Thermostat layout.

Some of the device handlers / drivers for thermostats (especially Nest and Ecobee) tend to report weird values for the thermostatSetpoint attribute.

Thanks, it worked. I thought I give a super Tile a try. It says I need a Premium account. However, I do have have a Premium account…
