Ah - ok.  I remember reading that now.  For me, I do most of my control directly from the Ecobee, so would have little/no interest in setting vacation mode from the ISY.  However, being able to detect that the Ecobee is in vacation mode would be valuable.  One for logging/reporting the current state of the Ecobee.  And more importantly, initiating programs in ISY based on vacation mode.

It seems a true/false status for vacation mode would be adequate.  One thing that Home Assistant's Ecobee component does that works really well in automations...  All override modes are enumerated in a hold_mode attribute.  This can have one of a number of values:  null, hold, home, away, vacation, etc.  If I make any changes to Ecobee via its interface, such as setting a Vacation, Quick Home Hold, Quick Away Hold, or any of the smart functions based on remote sensors detecting/not detecting motion (Smart Home, Smart Away), it is conveyed in Home Assistant via the hold_mode attribute.

Should look at adding it as a hold mode as originally requested.
