New Patron Perk!

It's long overdue, but I finally got automatic syncing enabled. This was a promised feature for just after the 1.2 release but I ran into some issues with performance and bugs and just wasn't happy wi...

The past couple weeks have been busy for me with the release and support of beestat 1.2. I've fixed a number of bugs and have a few reported issues that I still need to look at.

While that's been go...

Beestat 1.2 has arrived!

I don't have much to say except: finally! This version has been in development for 3 months (two of them active) with a bug-crushing, feature-crazy two week sprint to the finish.

Rebuilding the home efficiency card

Back when I first built beestat I decided I needed something that made it unique. After all, ecobee provided all of the same data I did. The only thing I was doing was making it a bit more convenient ...

Has science gone too far?

Putting the pieces back together

Hi! It's been a month since my last update and I have nothing to show for it. I took some much-needed time off to relax and handle some other things. I'm excited to get back to beestat!

Deferred loading and minor delays

One of the less exciting but also very useful features coming to the next version of beestat is deferred loading. Ever notice when you connect it spins for a while, especially if it's been some time s...

Patreon annoy-a-tron

Part of running a Patreon means actively raising support for the project by telling people about it and encouraging them to become a supporter. Here's what I've come up with.

Even as the day winds down there's still work to do!

I have so much left I want to get into this release. October is the big month for thermostats which gives me plenty of time to get things wrapped up.

Menus and modals and more

As I began to address some of the tasks for 1.2 I found myself a little bit stuck. The design I had was incredibly limiting for two reasons:

• Every card had a specific color. This meant new car...

A little R&D on system type and settings

Here's a bit of a raw brainstorm on many of the different configuration settings ecobee offers. One of the first things I need to do before I can present recommendations is determine what type of syst...

What's next for beestat 1.2!

The dust has settled after the release of version 1.1 and I'm beginning to form some very high level pictures in my mind of what beestat will look like in version 1.2 and beyond. My top priority will ...

Survey Results - Features & Support

As part of the beestat 1.1 release I launched a survey to see what features people most wanted to see next, and how they felt about supporting the project financially. I'm glad I did!
