You will need to obtain an API key from ecobee's [developer site](https://www.ecobee.com/developers/) to use this component. To get the key, first you need to register your thermostat. Once you have done that, click on the 'Become a developer' link on the developer site. Login with your ecobee credentials, accept the SDK agreement, fill in the fields, and click save. Now login to the regular consumer portal, and in the hamburger menu there will br a new option 'Developer'. Select that, then select 'Create New'. Give your app a name (it appears to need to be unique across all users, as I tried 'home-assistant' and it said it was already in use) and a summary (neither of these are important as they are not used anywhere). For Authorization method select 'ecobee PIN'. You don't need an Application Icon or Detailed Description. Click Save. Now under the Name and Summary Section you will have an API key. Copy this key and use it in you configuration section below. Click the 'X' to close the Developer section.
