INSTALLATION STEPS

2. Create a new device type (https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ide/devices)

   Click on the new device Click the edit button next to Preferences Fill in your device (a) "appKey" provided at the ecobee web portal in step 1 (b) "serial number" of your ecobee thermostat (c) "trace" when needed, set to true to get more tracing

5. To get an ecobee PIN (double authentication), create a small app with the following code and install it.

preferences {

section("Initialize this ecobee thermostat") {
	input "ecobee", "capability.thermostat", title: "Ecobee Thermostat"
}

}

def installed() {

log.debug "installed> calling getEcobeePinAuth... "
ecobee.getEcobeePinAndAuth()

}

6. Click on your ecobee device again to get the 4-alphanumeric PIN from the list ((https://graph.api.smartthings.com/device/list). It should appear immediately under the verboseTrace attribute.
