The Ecobee platform lets you control a thermostats and view sensor data from the Ecobee thermostat.
+The ecobee component lets you control a thermostats and view sensor data from ecobee thermostats.
You will need to obtain an API key from ecobee’s developer site to use this component. To get the key, first you need to register your thermostat. Once you have done that, click on the ‘Become a developer’ link on the developer site. Login with your ecobee credentials, accept the SDK agreement, fill in the fields, and click save. Now login to the regular consumer portal, and in the hamburger menu there will br a new option ‘Developer’. Select that, then select ‘Create New’. Give your app a name (it appears to need to be unique across all users, as I tried ‘home-assistant’ and it said it was already in use) and a summary (neither of these are important as they are not used anywhere). For Authorization method select ‘ecobee PIN’. You don’t need an Application Icon or Detailed Description. Click Save. Now under the Name and Summary Section you will have an API key. Copy this key and use it in you configuration section below. Click the ‘X’ to close the Developer section.

-The first time you run Home-Assistant with this component it will give you a PIN code that you need to authorize in the ecobee consumer portal. You can do this by clicking ‘Add Application’ in the ‘My Apps’ section in the sidebar. Enter the PIN code from the Home Assistant screeen. To get the PIN code select the item in the Ecobee card. If you do not have an Ecobee card, you may be using groups with default_view that don’t show the card. To get around this you can temporarily comment out the default_view section or add the configurator.ecobee component to your default_view and restart Home Assistant. Once you enter the PIN on the Ecobee site, wait approximately 5 minutes and then click on the ‘I have authorized the app’ link at the bottom of the Ecobee popup window. If everything worked correctly, you should now be able to restart Home Assistant again to see the full Ecobee card with all of the sensors populated or see the list of sensors in the developer tools. Now you can re-enable your default_view (if you had to disable it) and add the Ecobee sensors to a group and/or view.

You may wish to modify the zwave settings ozw*.xml file in your .homeassistant root folder, or certain situations/devices may require it (i.e. Aeon Multisensor 6). To do this, utilize Open-Zwave Control Panel. Alternatively, use Domoticz, which incorporates the Open-Zwave Control Panel project into an easy to use Raspberry Pi image.
+You may wish to modify the Z-Wave settings in your ozw*.xml file stored in the .homeassistant directory, or certain situations/devices may require it (i.e. Aeon Multisensor 6). To do this, utilize Open-Zwave Control Panel. Alternatively, use Domoticz, which incorporates the Open-Zwave Control Panel project into an easy to use Raspberry Pi image.
The reasoning for using these tools is that your Zwave controller stores the values and data that are used to control the network. The XML file in the .homeassistant folder acts as a settings/values cache for the zwave network, so modifying it directly won’t change the network values. The Open-Zwave Control Panel writes values directly to the network, and will provide you with an updated .xml file to overwrite in your .homeassistant folder. This is the most foolproof way to make modifications to your zwave devices.

Although totally normal for your ZWave stick (Aeon Aeotec Z-Stick Gen5 for example) to cycle through LEDs (Yellow, Blue and Red) while plugged into your Pi, it’s also super annoying. If you want to turn off the cycling color, you can use the following commands from a terminal session to your Pi.
