Google-Nest Offical Device Access Console Finally Released!

I’ll have to play more when I get home as this is hard from my phone but I was able to add oath under my cloud app and patch 3 redirect uri. It gave me a new oath and secret I updated the device access council to have the new oath I’d and updated the oath and secret in home assistant rebooted and now when I try to add the integration I get this.

Thanks for clarifying.

I guess i’ll have to add badnest back again if I want to get status info from Nest Protect.

What is the expectations of the camera entities using the official nest integration, is it that we still get 10 second snapshots, or is there any possibility of a live feed?

I guess I’m trying to gauge the advantages of leaving badnest and going to official nest (apart from the fact that badnest might brake at any time if the api changes).

How to activate or deactivate the camera via HA. I do not have the current Home / Not_home option ?

That’s not part of the new SDM unfortunately. I miss it too.

Update I finally did it. I think this was happening because google was having problems or something. I came back a few hours later and tried again and for whatever reason it worked. So either google was having problems when I tried to start over or it had a delayed fuse being available for some reason. I think my main problem was not having setup oath in that one page for some reason when I clicked the blue link I posted above the two weren’t related and although it was allowing control it wasn’t connecting to the same cloud app I had the pub sub in :man_shrugging:Now my device is controllable and instantaneously updates. Thanks for the help guys. We definitely need a good YouTube video or better guide on this mess for sure haha I think my other problem at least earlier today was trying to add the integration from inside the app on my phone. That made it so the redirect wouldn’t work after the account linking. Definitely use a browser.

Yes, https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/nest/#camera “a RTSP live stream which can be viewed from Home Assistant.”

I use the the default entity card for a camera and the live feed works fine (there are some performance issues being worked through, but the functionality is there). Not sure why you aren’t seeing it.

Is anybody here successfully using a nest cam from this integration? When I click my camera, if it loads, there’s a significant delay/lag (7-10 seconds).

Yes, the google cloud is a deep, dark, complex and mysterious place and full of secret hiding places! Glad you found light at the end of tunnel. Someday when you least expect it you might find that original OAuth client and secret!

I don’t know how the stream is handled but couldn’t it be caused by ffmpeg which in HA (for quite a while) causes pretty similar delay even for local RTSP streams?

Hoping someone can help. :slight_smile:

While trying to get the access token, I follow directions and drop the command in the terminal and get the following error:
“curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL”

What am I missing or what have I done wrong?

I seem to recall something like that and I had missed replacing one of the fields. Also had a command that was broken into separate commands by CRs…

It was the seperate lines. Thanks

if the doorbell events are added, various automations due to the delay of the stream would make no sense

Anyone else here having issues with sending Node Red commands? I have a routine that sets it to ECO when we are gone and back on Heat or Cool when we get home based on the outside temperature. It sets to ECO but will not set back to HEAT. I looked, seems like the command is right… See below my json. Node Red does not give me an error when this happens. It claims the message was sent. Thoughts?

{
“entity_id”: “climate.living_room”,
“preset_mode”: “heat”
}

Found it. Checked developer tools and needed to change it to hvac_mode.

{
“entity_id”: “climate.living_room”,
“hvac_mode”: “heat”
}

I’ve noticed if preset_mode is eco you have to change preset_mode to none before you can set a temperature (and possibly hvac_mode to heat although I have not changed my hvac_mode yet since I only have heat and none).

I’m using it with a Nest Hello doorbell. I just checked, and it’s taking about 5 seconds to load the video.

As I’ve stated in comment a few days ago, my Nest integration is working perfectly. However, I have added the official Nest Temperature Sensor upstairs which is visible in the Nest App and does show the upstairs temperature, but the API/HA does not provide a sensor.

Is anyone else with the official Nest Temperature Sensor(s) seeing the same results?

FYI: The sensor has helped with better regulating the upstairs/downstairs temperatures by allowing me to select which temperature the thermostat regulates it’s target temperature. I know other smart thermo’s have averaging ability, but not Nest…yet.

This is.not supported by the SDM API…if it gets added, HA can support it.

having problems in keeping camera streams from stopping after a few minutes
I don’t think the problem is the integration
it more to do with ffmpeg
which debug settings do I need to set to help find the problem
