The Ecobee platform lets you control a thermostats and view sensor data from the [Ecobee](https://ecobee.com) thermostat.
|
|
|
|
You will need to obtain an API key from ecobee's [developer site](https://www.ecobee.com/developers/) to use this component. 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](https://www.ecobee.com/consumerportal/index.html). You can do this by clicking 'Add Application' in the 'My Apps' section in the sidebar.

|
|
|
To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
ecobee:
|
|
api_key: asdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnm
|
|
hold_temp: True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **api_key** (*Required*): Your Ecobee api key.
|
|
- **hold_temp** (*Optional*): True/False whether or not to hold changes indefinitely (True) or until the next scheduled event (False, default).
