## Preliminary Step
|
||||
|

You will need to obtain an API key from ecobee's [developer site](https://www.ecobee.com/developers/) to use this integration. To get the key, first, you need to register your thermostat which should be done as part of the ecobee installation. Once you have done that, perform the following steps.

2. In the pop-up box, enter the API key you obtained from ecobee.com.
|
||||
3. In the next pop-up box, you will be presented with a unique four-character PIN code which you will need to authorize in the [ecobee consumer portal](https://www.ecobee.com/consumerportal/index.html). You can do this by logging in, selecting **My Apps** from the hamburger menu, clicking **Add Application** on the left, entering the PIN code from Home Assistant, and clicking **Validate** and then **Add Application** in the bottom right.
|
||||
4. After authorizing the App on ecobee.com, return to Home Assistant and hit **Submit**. If the authorization was successful, a config entry will be created and your thermostats and sensors will be available in Home Assistant.

|

The first time you (re)run Home Assistant with this integration 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.
|
||||
|
||||
The PIN can be found in the Home Assistant portal on the Ecobee card or from the **configurator.ecobee** entity in the States developer tool.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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` integration 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 pop-up 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.

To get your Ecobee notifications working with Home Assistant, you must first have the main Ecobee integration loaded and running. Once you have that configured, you can set up this integration to send messages to your Ecobee device.
