+### {% linkable_title Finding your `home_id` %}
+Find your `home_id` by browsing to `https://my.tado.com/api/v2/me?username=YOUR_USERNAME&password=YOUR_PASSWORD`. There you'll see something like the following:
+
+```json
+{"name":"Mark","email":"your@email.tld","username":"your@email.tld",
+"homes":[{"id":12345,"name":"Home Sweet Home"}],"locale":"en_US",
+"mobileDevices":[]}
