apt VS app

> Cron has a bunch of this kind of thing built in

At least Vixie cron doesn't support anything like this.

Each cron job that needs it has to implement it on its own, e.g.:

https://github.com/Debian/apt/blob/2.5.1/debian/apt.apt-comp...

mkdir /tmp/build && cd /tmp/build wget -r --no-parent https://github.com/Debian/apt/ cmake . ./apt install git

Look at https://github.com/Debian/apt for inspiration.

I believe there's a command line option you have to use now. Poked around and found the release commit:

Haha, commit 312e7d7310e07757c59cd7ac0f20d0b416b43026/release 2.3.12 is dedicated to Linus Tech Tip

Apt (https://github.com/Debian/apt) is a package manager, and its very concept is to connect to various repositories of software and get a list of everything available and allow you to easily install the software. Without even looking at the source I am certain this distro is connecting to many of them every time there is an apt update. This is not "pinging" as described, for some nefarious purpose it is simply retrieving data that you are requesting by doing an apt update.

Use beestat https://beestat.io and login with your ecobee credentials. It will provide lots of information about your system, including the unrounded actual temperature. In addition its charts are better than Ecobee’s.

no - not sure on the time exactly. I will look into the beestat.io site, never sw it before.

If your Aux furnace is running then the display on the Ecobee should say "Aux 1" or something like that. Another way is to go to Beestst, log in with your Ecobee credentials. This will give you all the data for how your system is running and you'll be able to see if and when your aux heat is running and for how long.

Hi I am new to this group. I bought a house three years ago with a geothermal closed loop system. I don't know what I don't know about this stuff, but I connected my ecobee thermostat to beestat.io for visualizing the outcome. Is anything weird? Obviously wrong here?

If you happen to have an ecobee thermostat, https://beestat.io/ is an amazing tool for figuring out how your system performs.

same problem here. very frustrating. i'm using https://beestat.io/ instead

You might find it helpful to check out https://beestat.io/ . It gives you a lot more detail and history, and, importantly, shows you temperatures with tenths of a degree accuracy instead of so much rounding.

Thanks. I just learned about beestat.io, so I'm going to see if I can use that additional data to point me in a definitive direction.

At http://beestat.io you can register your thermostat and see the data in better formats

I second using beestat.io! I don't even use the ecobee app anymore unless I need to change temps while away, outside of that all of my monitoring is done on beestat.
