+
+To get your Ecobee sensors working with Home Assistant, you must first have the main [Ecobee component](/components/ecobee/) loaded and running.  Once you have that configured, you can setup this component to send messages to your thermostat.
+
+Add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+notify:
+  name: NOTIFIER_NAME
+  platform: ecobee
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **name** (*Optional*): Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
+- **index** (*Optional*): If you have more than one thermostat, you can create a notifier for each one by providing the zero based index for each thermostat. (Default: 0)
+
+To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page](/getting-started/automation/).
