## Configuring the Integration
## Configuration
To configure the ecobee integration in Home Assistant, you can either use the **Configuration** > **Integrations** menu, or add an entry to `configuration.yaml`.
1. In the **Configuration** > **Integrations** menu, click **+** and then select "ecobee" from the pop-up menu.
2. In the pop-up box, enter the API key you obtained from ecobee's [developer portal](https://ecobee.com/developers).
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, clicking **Validate** and then **Add Application** in the bottom right.
4. After authorizing the app with ecobee, return to Home Assistant and click **Submit**. If the authorization was successful, a configuration entry will be created and your thermostats and sensors will be available in Home Assistant.
