Cannot link my Nest Account

[jolaca (Jorge)]

Hi, I have migrated my Hassbian installation from a Pi3 to Hass.io and then to a Pi4. I’ve been able to restore all my integrations without issues, all but Nest. I was asked to link my nest account, and authorize Nest integration, I entered the link to do so: received a Pin in my mobile, entered that pin in nest page and after giving my authorization in their page I get from the same web page: ‘Upps there’s been a problem, try again!’ Getting that error when I enter the same pin in HA, obviously it does not work.
No idea why this is happening, but I have tried several times with no success. BTW, I already had a nest developer account (and was working on Hassbian), so I guess it’s not related to that.

Any idea will be very much appreciated. It seems that the normal way to authorize this integration is not working anymore.

There is a solution albeit temporary.

I made a crappy Nest Thermostat integration that will work as a stopgap until alternatives come out

Having bought a Nest, and never signing up for the API, I’m stuck in the position I’m sure a ton of people are in right now: no way to access it from Home Assistant. I did some reverse engineering on their webapp and found that they have a fairly decent API that they use for that. Taking this, I made a home assistant integration for the Nest thermostat that will hopefully work until a better solution comes around. There are several drawbacks to this approach: No proper error handling Won’t w…

You’ve not done the Nest to Google account migration…?

I just made this with a success

Nest to turn off their API

@Corey_Maxim @Matt112 You can try copying the entry from the old .storage/core.config_entries file into the new one, but you have to be careful how you do it. The file is JSON formatted, so you have to copy it into the correct place, and you have to be careful about whether or not the entry should end with a comma. (Basically, if you put it at the end then it should not have a comma at the end. And if there are any other entries after it then it should have a comma.) So… { "data": { …

Thanks, I’ll give it a try. And no, I haven’t done the Nest to google account migration, still on Nest.

Hey @juhaa I’ve already try it and it is also working for me. Thank you very much for sharing how to solve it!!

Good to hear! Personally i was struggling to find my backups where the old set up were
Now we just need to wait when they kill the whole thing. One thing is clear, never again Nest products.
