The `econet` water heater platform is consuming the information provided by a [EcoNet enabled Rheem water heater](http://www.rheem.com/EcoNet/Home). This platform allows you to set the temperature, the operation mode, and enable vacation mode.

## {% linkable_title Configuration %}

To enable the `econet` water heater platform, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
water_heater:
  - platform: econet
    username: YOUR_ECONET_EMAIL
    password: YOUR_ECONET_PASSWORD
```

{% configuration %}
username:
  description: The username used to connect to your EcoNet account.
  required: true
  type: string
password:
  description: The password used to connect to your EcoNet account.
  required: true
  type: string
{% endconfiguration %}

### {% linkable_title Service `econet.add_vacation` %}

You can use the service `econet.add_vacation` to create a new vacation for your EcoNet water heaters.
