Google-Nest Offical Device Access Console Finally Released!

Third party integrations
1132

You can use whatever is your home assistant url prefix that you use to access your HA instance.
See the integration troubleshooting instructions if you get an error message on the url not matching.

1133

You specify the prefix for the auth external callback URL exactly the same way as the base URL you use to access your HA system. If you use a port number then callback has to have a port number. If not, then no port number…

1134

no i use the link that create nabucasa

edit: it’s work if i connect with nabucasa but if i use local ip don’t work (fail called)

1135

Just append /auth/external/callback to your EXTERNAL URL

If that URL has a :port_number then include it.
If not, don’t try and make things up 'cause it won’t work!

https://my_name.duckdns.org:8123
would be https://my_name.duckdns.org:8123/auth/external/callback

https://my_name.duckdns.org:8080
would be https://my_name.duckdns.org:8080/auth/external/callback

https://#xxl#xxxxxxxx#xx#x#xxx#xxxxxxx#.ui.nabu.casa/
would be https://#xxl#xxxxxxxx#xx#x#xxx#xxxxxxx#.ui.nabu.casa/auth/external/callback

Oh gosh I now noticed that the latency means the snapshot doesn’t even pick up the person!!! So this change will definitely be welcome, if the snapshot could come directly from Nest then I’d actually have a person in the field. By the time my automation triggers from the person_detected event and HA takes a snapshot, the image doesn’t have a person as the latency is too big between the event being received and the snapshot being taken.

Especially with how quick the busy couriers come and go now a days!

Just wanted to add a “thank you” to those that contributed to the integration update and the implementation instructions. Very nice work and much appreciated!

I think I can say on behalf of everyone here, you’re welcome!
Also, welcome to the community! Congratulations on successfully integrating Google Nest!!

Is anyone else having a problem with the thermostat’s attribute hvac_action? No matter what my thermostat is doing or what state it’s in, it’s showing as off.

That’s literally my only problem; this is working fantastically. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this.

1142

I can only tell you it works for me. When the boiler is firing for heating (not water), the hvac_action turns to ‘heat’.

1143

Huh. Quick question: does your current state match the hvac_action?

Example: my nest has “cool” for state and “off” for hvac_action. Is state supposed to be one of the HVAC modes or is it supposed to be on/off?

1144

My UK Nest doesn’t support cooling (as far as I know), so State says heat and hvac_action says off or heat.

I think hvac_action will be one of the hvac_modes.

1145

hvac_modes is the list of modes the thermostat has available and the state of the thermostat is which of those modes is the thermostat currently set to: heat, cool, off. hvac_action is what is the thermostat currently doing.

Furnace only:

state: [ heat | off ]
hvac_modes: 'heat, off'
hvac_action: [ heating | off ]

A/C only:

state: [ cool | off ]
hvac_modes: 'cool, off'
havc_action: [ cooling |  off ]

Combined:

state: [ heat | cool | off ]
havc_modes: 'heat, cool, off'
hvac_action: [ heating | cooling | off ]
1146

So what is the state? Does it match the hvac_action or is it on/off

1147

The thermostat state is set to one of the hvac_modes to indicate which mode the thermostat is set to.

Thank you! Time to check the code against my logs: there’s got to be an explanation.

1149

@dbrunt - thanks, I stand corrected, I was going from memory. I assume from this you equate hvac_mode (singular) with entity state, because my hvac_modes (plural) is ‘off, heat’. My hvac_action is ‘off’ or ‘heating’.
