@jrconlin no, honestly it's funny to me that you think this is good?
Hold should be a single thing that works a single way. You turn on hold and now it is a dumb thermostat until you turn hold off.
This scheme is needlessly complicated and opaque.
Honestly, nest had it right in that a temporary override would always stay until the next schedule point. The way ecobee is doing it is maddening. I'd like to see a combination of nest's temporary override and permanent hold. That seems obvious.
— Heh, no, not saying it's good, nor the fact that they squirrel away any way to make a change because "clearly they know better".
Just commenting that my older version kinda/sorta does what you want, but clearly yours doesn't because, improvements? Reasons?
Someone made it their OKR?
(FWIW, I have home assistant override the hold at midnight because I'd often forget it was in place and my house would be freezing cold in the morning, but that's not really a fix either.)
@jrconlin gotcha (and for clarity my boost isn't to make fun of you but to put out there how I think hold should work)
We're both grumpy old men in violent agreement.
Honestly, I just want a dumb thermostat I can control remotely (because I'm dumb and forget to set turn it down when I go away for a while.)
Someone else commented about a ZWave thermostat, which will probably be my next option.
@jrconlin I used to have a Sensi thermostat which was pretty good at being a dumb thermostat. The one I had (which is like... 10 years old now) worked like a normal thermostat but with wifi and an app you could drive around.
@TechConnectify @jrconlin in particular given your recent announcement of what you will retoot, it certainly came across as making fun of them initially.
Might be a good idea to edit the toot?
