Yes, and mine is working now. I followed the new directions, or rather finished the 4th page of google instructions where you use the Google Cloud terminal to create the subscription for the nest pub/sub topic…the same end result but easier doing it from Google Cloud Platform, Pub/Sub, Subscriptions, Create Subscription, enter a name and manually enter the Pub/Sub topic from (Nest) Device Access Console. That becomes the new subscriber_id.
@rickokin When you go into Integrations, and into the device, it shows last updated as a while ago:
However if you then click on the time, you will see last update time:
How did you get your display paneled like that??
@dbrunt that screen is just under Configuration -> Integrations -> Nest, devices -> into the thermostat -> 3 sliders at top right.
Alternatively, when you have the thermostat card, click the 3 dots top right
@dbrunt no theme or custom colours. Just dark mode:
I have however started using Climate Thermostat Card in HACS. Looks like the Nest screen:
Out of curiosity, how often do nest thermostats send data to be ingested by the sub pub? Do they only send updates when there is a change? I see gaps of hours sometimes between updates.
I do see appdaemon pulling every 30 seconds to the subscription. I also see a lot of messages not being ack’d. Is that a concern?
Yes, I’ve been playing with that card and another variant of it. That one has some of what I want but the other has code to turn the dial orange when heating and blue when cooling. I had trouble getting the orange when heating working, also Leaf mode. I’m going to try my hand coding the best of both…
My UI thus far…
So when can we use it?
Can I ask a really dumb question? I have the integration done but when I look at my equivalent screen I only see 2 entities, not 3. I don’t have the “thermostat” entity, I have the two others.
Thanks!

So you’re not seeing this?
Do you have climate: in your configuration.yaml?
(just that, no other parameters unless you already had it for some other integration)
I only see humidity and temp. Yes, I have climate in yaml. running 0.117.5.
Thank you for the quick response - much appreciated!
Do I need to stop AppDaemon?
Are you referring to my nest look-alike? It’s just some hobbled together vertical and horizontal stack cards and custom:button-cards with two input_selects for MODE and ECO and two automations to call climate.set_xxx when those inputs change, and that works, however no code yet to update the booleans if MODE/ECO is changed some way other than the input_select which means the icon colors for MODE and ECO buttons don’t correctly reflect the new state(s) yet. I can post the code for what I’ve got so far…

Climate was added in 0.118.0b0 beta, upgrade and you will see it

I ment the thermostat card with the heating icon working.
Yes, I would stop (or remove it if nest.py is the only app you’re using). Or remove/hide the nest.py app.
Also, as Jess mentioned, you’ll need 0.118.0b[0|1|2] to get the new Nest Integration code.

It’s not an entirely new card yet but I will post the lovelace yaml and other tidbits a little later; Gotta go help a friend hook up a new Shaw cable modem…

Is it possible to have this thread split in 2? One for discussing the appdeamon nest plugin and one for the home assistant native integration?
Im getting really confused on who is asking support for which. (and reading all posts I think I’m not the only one)
