Nest announces smart home API
Re: Nest announces smart home API
That would be great. Now that the actual thermostat heat/cool status is available it would be nice if the nest thermostat object state matches that used by other OSA thermostat types object-type-requirements-for-base-type- ... -t452.html.
So the state is what the thermostat is telling the HVAC system to do at the current time and the user selected mode (heat, cool, heat/cool ) becomes a property of the object.

Looks like the Nest plugin is creating a new connection to the Nest cloud without disconnecting the old connection. If the plugin is left running for an extended time, I get pages and pages of connections that can be seen in TCPView

I just got a new NEST thermostat and I'm trying to get the NEST plugin to work.
I have it installed, but I'm only getting to this point
However, when I go to the webpage mentioned above to get my PIN, I get an error when I click the "Allow" button.
Any Ideas?

Code: Select all
No pin provided. Please visit https://home.nest.com/login/oauth2?client_id=ff5f73fb-2fd9-472f-ba3d-73cb236a1808&state=STATE to get a pin code. Update PIN property on Nest Plugin object and run method Get Access Token.
Any Ideas?
Re: Nest announces smart home API
OK,
I got most of this figured out.
For starters, the default version of NewtonSoft.JSON that is used is version 3.5.0.0
The Nest plugin requires version 6.0.0.0 + to work., So you need to upgrade or copy the version from the plugin to your main OSA folder.
Secondly, @Fivehellions put some "Hard-Coded" information in the plugin.
It is apparent that he is no longer keeping up with his plugins, nor his account on the Nest developers site.
So, Once I signed up for my own Nest Developer account and created my own OAuth2 Nest Client, I was able to get the plugin back up and running!!
This plugin has already been upgraded for 4.9. So I think I might work on an update for it, and make it so it is not dependent on any other users information.

Re: Nest announces smart home API
I have played with Nest before. And it was good. But the problem was programming it’s not for a non-techie. We got Hogar Controls this time. Especially, because my wife insisted on going simple with technology. To be honest, I do like their smart home app. The settings are simple. And the user interface is very friendly. I was a little skeptical about performance. But Hogar Controls delivers what they claim. It is suitable for both techie and non-techie people. I couldn’t find the link to its app details but I do have a link for their website Hogar Controls Hope that helps.
