Accessing Nest humidity in a group

Configuration
1

Hi

I’m very new to hass and I was wondering how I get my nest thermostats to show things like humidity in groups. Currently I see only the main nest climate control in any of my groups?

I’ve got three nests “Upstairs”, “Downstairs” and “Basement”.

This is my groups file so far:

default_view:
 view: yes
 icon: mdi:home
 entities:
   - group.upstairs_view
   - group.downstairs_view
   - group.basement_view
   - climate.Upstairs
   - climate.Downstairs
   - climate.Basement
upstairs_view:
 name: Upstairs
 view: yes
 icon: mdi:page-layout-header
 entities:
   - climate.Upstairs
   - group.landing
   - group.bathroom
   - group.studio
   - group.middle_room
   - group.front_room
   - group.dressing_room
landing:
 name: Landing
bathroom:
 name: Bathroom
studio:
 name: Studio
middle_room:
 name: Middle bedroom
front_room:
 name: Front bedroom
dressing_room:
 name: Dressing room
downstairs_view:
 name: Downstairs
 view: yes
 icon: mdi:page-layout-body
 entities:
   - climate.Downstairs
   - group.hall
   - group.lounge
   - group.study
   - group.kitchen
hall:
 name: Hall
lounge:
 name: Lounge
study:
 name: Study
kitchen:
 name: Kitchen
basement_view:
 name: Basement
 view: yes
 icon: mdi:page-layout-footer
 entities:
   - climate.Basement
   - group.basement_hall
   - group.electric_cabinet
   - group.snug
   - group.dining_room
   - group.utility_room
basement_hall:
 name: Basement hall
electric_cabinet:
 name: Electric cabinet
snug:
 name: Snug
dining_room:
 name: Dining room
utility_room:
 name: Utility room

My nest config is just in the main configuration.yaml and I’ve just code the key and secret, allowing it pull the default names through as listed above.

A few other nest config questions, I got it working however before I started trying to group things it included about 30 odd metrics on my home page and 3 that actually allow you to control things.

The basement control has both heating and hot water on, however I wasn’t able to see any metrics or control relating to the hot water?

Just use the name of the specific value in your groups. sensor.family_room_thermostat_humidity Is the name of Nest Humidity value… you will have to find out what yours is called exactly… use the states page < > for a list of all your items and you will get an idea of what values you may want to hide using the customization menu or just not include when you create your own default view page

Would most likely be:

  • sensor.upstairs_thermostat_humidity

  • sensor.downstairs_thermostat_humidity

  • sensor.basement_thermostat_humidity

Hi

Thanks, that seems to have done the trick! I do however notice the new values are showing rounded to 5% humidity. I’m sure they were correct to a degree before I grouped values. I may have read something about API changes for the Nest integration, but I wonder if there is anything I can do?

Also I now get the little icon style metric back on my dashboard under the relevant group, is there a way I can see humidity in a different layout like the temperature one and display a graph?

Finally is there a way to view your hot water status from the nest with options to boost etc?

Many thanks

Andy

Not sure, I’m seeing the same on mine, maybe an API Default.

Maybe by adding it to it’s own group, unless I’m not understanding your question.

No idea, I’m not using that option.
This is what I have:

  • sensor.living_room_thermostat_humidity
  • sensor.living_room_thermostat_hvac_state
  • sensor.living_room_thermostat_operation_mode
  • sensor.living_room_thermostat_target
  • sensor.living_room_thermostat_temperature

I’m seeing the following:

Upstairs - Nest (37) - Hass (35)
Downstairs - Nest (38) - Hass (40)
Basement - Nest (48) - Hass (50)

As you can see I have a little icon on my upstairs group view

nest

This is the config now:

upstairs_view:
name: Upstairs
view: yes
icon: mdi:page-layout-header
entities:
- climate.Upstairs
- sensor.upstairs_thermostat_humidity
- group.landing
- group.bathroom
- group.studio
- group.middle_room
- group.front_room
- group.dressing_room

I don’t see the Upstairs Group in the pic?

And yes, I’t looks like it is rounding up and down.

Mine show 32 on NEST and 30 on HASS
