  title: ecobee Authorization API
  description: 'The ecobee API is a REST-like JSON interface for reading and controlling registered ecobee smart thermostats and connected home devices. The data plane is based at https://api.ecobee.com/1 and returns/accepts JSON. Read thermostat runtime, settings, sensors, and equipment status with GET /thermostat, poll for change efficiently with GET /thermostatSummary, and apply writable properties and thermostat functions with POST /thermostat. Historical data is available via GET /runtimeReport and GET /meterReport. Thermostats can be grouped (/group) and, for EMS and Utility accounts, organized in a management-set hierarchy (/hierarchy/*) and driven with demand response events (/demandResponse).

    Authorization uses OAuth 2.0 with an ecobee PIN flow or the standard authorization-code flow, plus refresh tokens; the OAuth endpoints (/authorize and /token) live on the host root https://api.ecobee.com (without the /1 path). All data-plane requests require an `Authorization: Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN` header.

    NOTE - as of late 2024, ecobee closed its developer program to new API-key registrations; existing keys continue to function. Endpoint shapes below are grounded in ecobee''s published v1 API documentation; request/response schemas are simplified models of the documented objects.'

      summary: Begin authorization (PIN or authorization code)
      description: Starts an authorization flow. For the ecobee PIN flow, set `response_type=ecobeePin`; the response returns a PIN, an authorization `code`, and expiry, which the user enters in the ecobee web portal to grant access. For the authorization-code flow, set `response_type=code` with a `redirect_uri`. This endpoint is on the host root, not under /1.
