# Beestat CLI

CLI for the Beestat API (ecobee thermostat analytics). Query temperature, humidity, air quality, and HVAC runtime.

## Installation

```bash
npm install -g beestat-cli
```

## Setup

1. Create account at [beestat.io](https://beestat.io) and link your ecobee
2. Email contact@beestat.io with your thermostat serial number to get an API key
3. Set environment variable: `export BEESTAT_API_KEY="your-key"`

## Commands

### Status

```bash
beestat status             # Current temps, humidity, setpoints, weather
beestat status --json
```

### Sensors

```bash
beestat sensors            # All sensors with temperature and occupancy
beestat sensors --json
```

### Air Quality

```bash
beestat air-quality        # CO2, VOC, and air quality score
beestat aq                 # Short alias
beestat aq --json
```

Requires ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium (has built-in air quality sensors).

**CO2 Levels:**
- < 800 ppm: Excellent
- 800-1000 ppm: Good
- 1000-1500 ppm: Fair (consider ventilation)
- > 1500 ppm: High (ventilate!)

**VOC Levels:**
- < 0.5 ppm: Excellent
- 0.5-1.0 ppm: Good
- 1.0-3.0 ppm: Fair
- > 3.0 ppm: High

### Thermostats

```bash
beestat thermostats        # Model info, HVAC details
beestat thermostats --json
```

### Runtime Summary

```bash
beestat summary            # Runtime history (default 7 days)
beestat summary --days 14  # Last 14 days
beestat summary --json
```

### Force Sync

```bash
beestat sync               # Force sync with ecobee
```

## Usage Examples

**User: "What's the temperature in the house?"**
```bash
beestat status
```

**User: "Is the air quality okay?"**
```bash
beestat aq
```

**User: "Is anyone in the bedrooms?"**
```bash
beestat sensors
```

**User: "How much did we heat the house this week?"**
```bash
beestat summary --days 7
```

**User: "What thermostats do we have?"**
```bash
beestat thermostats
```

## Notes

- Air quality data comes from ecobee runtime, not sensor capabilities
- All commands support `--json` for scripting/automation
- Use `beestat sync` if data seems stale
