Google-Nest Offical Device Access Console Finally Released!

Yes, mine is in testing. Just the like Google Home one. You published it? Good find!

Good spot. Mine was also in testing. I have put it In Production will see how it goes. Thanks

Upgraded to 2021.2.0, but seems like the change to show last person didnt make it still?

Images from events in last 30 are show instead of live feed. It definitely should be in 2021.2.0.

I’ve been using it for the last month or so and it seems to work much better than before.

After testing for a bit more, you’re right. I was just confused because one of the first pics I got was a half closed door with no people. But it seems to work a lot better now.

I stopped receiving updates on Jan 19th in HA for my Nest thermostat, it had been working perfectly up until then. I’ve subsequently deleted the Nest integration and reinstalled after a HA reboot, however no devices nor entities are showing up.

I went through the re-configuration in the Configuration-> Integration page after HA notified that this was required without success.

I’ve deleted the existing subscription and re-created a new one with the same parameters I had initially as well as disabling and re-enabling the Smart Device Management API.

The Nest configuration.yaml parameters in HA has been triple checked to ensure all parameters are correct.

Notice that there are no devices nor entities being created when installing the Nest integration below…

I’m at my wits end after 2 days at it. Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you!!

PS: recreated Credentials also

I am on the same boat. all of a sudden the PubSub API started giving errors and the integration stopped working. I deleted everything and did it all over again and nothing. I can get the integration but not showing any devices or entities like your picture

I was in the same situation today - I needed to go back and create a PUBSUB Subscriber as outlined in the updated documentation here: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nest/#pubsub-subscriber-setup
Specifically step 8
You replace this this newly created subscription name where your old subscription_id was in your configuration.yml and it all starts working again =)

Thanks @danstreeter tried doing what you suggested to the letter even going so far as to rename the Subscriber ID just in case there was an issue there, but I still have no device showing up and no entities being created when deleting the existing Nest integration -> rebooting HA and re-installing the Nest integration.

Any other ideas?

We’re here to help!

Do you have error messages in your error log? what version of HA are you running?

Every version has significant improvements to the error messages and error handling to make it easier to self diagnose misconfiguration issues. (You are not alone, this is a beast to get working)

Someone on discord reported that moving their device between rooms or areas fixed this issue for them. (This sounds like an issue with the api)

Moving it within HA or the Google Home app? I don’t really have anything to move within HA so I am assume google home. Which unfortunately did not work. I do agree is something related to the API but can’t figure out what. I am wondering if there’s a hidden cached file within HA that needs to be deleted in order to get it going again with new credentials

Yes within home or nest app.There are no hidden caches.

Anyone who reports this, I’d love confirmation of these basics:

  1. ha version is latest
  2. contents of error logs
  3. results of looking at debug logs
  4. results of curl commands against SDM api getting started guide

(It’s a bit hard to support without confirming these basics first.)

latest version of HA
no error codes in HA
not sure what debug codes to look for
I’ve been spending my morning doing the Getting Started Guide. When running the GET command to get the list of devices is returning an empty response. So I assume this is why HA is not getting the list of devices either. Next step is probably to remove my Nest device from my account and add it again to see if that kick it back in

Which devices do you have? I hear this commonly with thermostats where Restarting fixes it. (See troubleshooting links to support page)

yes it was a thermostat. Actually it was a conflict between the “Home” in Google Home app and the Home in the Nest app. I had to unlink the Thermostat delete all “Homes”, recreate everything and now is working. Since goolge bought Nest it has been one nightmare after another. Very close to just selling it on eBay and getting something else. Any suggestions?

@allenporter I’m running 2021.2.0 and I don’t have any errors that are specific to Nest showing in the logs. This is a bear indeed, it seems that on my first install when it worked it was by sheer luck it worked.

Update: Invoking ‘Restart’ at the physical ‘Nest’ thermostat recovered the connection to the GCP API - SDM & Pub/Sub. Working again!!!

Is this a thermostat? See discussion above about other questions and details.

I can confirm that the 2021.2 version works fine using the camera.snapshot automation. Now it captures and forwards the same image as the nest native app uses on detection.

Good work @allenporter :slight_smile:

I have a question on refresh rate of the humidity sensor. My Nest device often shows a different value for humidity than what I see in HA or the Nest app. The app and HA usually match. The humidity sensor seems to be very delayed in updating in both the app and HA. Anyone know of a way to force it to update?
