npm install -g @hyperlink/open-window-service
This step is a bit manual unfortunately. I didn't take any time to make this easy because is a one time taks. You're all setup once you get your refresh_token.
#### Login to Ecobee account
Once Ecobee developer account is registered login to your account and click Developer link to create an app. Fill out Application Name, Application Summary and make note of the API key. This key is what you would use in place for ECOBEE_CLIENT_ID environment variable
Make an http GET to https://api.ecobee.com/authorize?client_id=
that gives you a response:
`json
{
"ecobeePin": "XXXX-ABCD",
"code": "",`
"interval": 5,
"expires_in": 900,
"scope": "openid,offline_access,smartWrite"
}
Then make a http POST to https://api.ecobee.com/token?grant_type=refresh_token&code=&client_id=
To get the follow result.
`json`
{
"access_token": "
"token_type": "Bearer",
"refresh_token": "
"expires_in": 3600,
"scope": "openid,smartWrite,offline_access"
}
ECOBEE_REFRESH_TOKEN should be the refresh_token result.
Set the app ID to WEATHER_APP_ID
You can create a script to launch this or use PM2.
`
module.exports = {

instances: 1,
script: 'src/index.ts',
time: true,
watch: 'src',
env: {
WEATHER_APP_ID: '
ECOBEE_REFRESH_TOKEN: '
ECOBEE_CLIENT_ID: '
// port the endpoint it's going to be on
PORT: 3000
}
}]
};
