GET Thermostats

URL: /thermostat

Accessible by: Smart, EMS, Utility accounts.

Retrieves a selection of thermostat data for one or more thermostats. The type of data retrieved is determined by the Selection object in the request. The include* properties of the selection retrieve specific portions of the thermostat. When retrieving thermostats, request only the parts of the thermostat you require as the whole thermostat with everything can be quite large and generally unnecessary.

API USAGE LIMITS

Use /thermostatSummary to poll for changes in thermostat state; DO NOT poll using /thermostat.
DO NOT have more than 2-3 open HTTP requests with the ecobee API at any given time; wait until the ecobee server has responded before issuing additional API requests.
If you are a Utility or EMS account and you are using management sets as your selection target, DO NOT have more than 1 open HTTP request with the ecobee API at any given time; wait until the ecobee server has responded before issuing additional API requests.

Utility Restrictions
