Cant Add Nest Account?

Configuration
1

I followed the instructions to add Nest account as described here:

NEST

Didnt even complete the first step, adding developers account. After filling in all the required info and pressing submit I got the message:

Thank you for your interest in the Works with Nest program. We're currently restructuring our developer program and are no longer accepting new developers to the program or performing client integration reviews for existing developers until the new program is implemented. Stay tuned for further details and announcements.

So am I screwed and can no longer add nest to HA??

For the moment I’m afraid yes. This was discussed in a recent podcast

@lolouk44 can this possibly explain why I can’t get my nest working again after a move to HASS.IO?

It’s been working perfectly for a long time now and after reinstalling and migrating to hassio, I can’t get the nest component to add me. After entering the pin I get: Internal error validating code

The logs state:

Name does resolve when I try it manually, I’ve even tried entering all the ip addresses for the api.home.nest.com

Is this related?

been a long time since I set up my nest.
As far as I know, Nest only doesn’t allow new accounts to be created. As long as you have a valid account you should be able to re-link your nest to HA.
you say you tried to resolve the name, was that on a browser on the pi where hass.io is installed (if that’s even possible? I don’t use hass.io)

I tried it on the pi using SSH (nslookup)

sorry mate not sure why. And on the off chance this is no longer working I don’t want to break the connection… :no_mouth:

:grinning: No worries, I’m going to investigate a bit more.

Somehow i was able to create a new developer account and configure permissions, but the end result was what looks like a valid client id and an empty client secret. So no dice.

Is this a symptom of the existing problem or a sign that something is changing? I only recently started playing with HA so im not sure where things stand.
