Pretty sure I saw it showing eco the other day, when I set it to eco
Eco mode is just a preset temperature range. Your hvac_mode will still be one of heat | cool | heat_cool | off.
This is when I set to ECO via the app
When I turn eco off, but it is heating

Roger:
Which app are you setting Eco mode in? And what shows up when your Nest automatically switches to Eco when youāre away?
My devices are showing different states than you. Curious what is different. Thanks!
In NodeRed, I set preset_mode to eco when everyone leaves home.
When someone returns home I set hvac_mode to auto. Seems to work fine for my setup
Thanks
Does it ever change to āecoā when you arenāt setting from HA?
Iām just setting the mode using the Nest app on my iPhone. To be honest I donāt know what it shows when it swaps automatically since I donāt really use it that way. Itās in a cottage we holiday let, so there is no āregularā routine for it to work out, so I just switch it to eco when there is no one in there for a few days. (I probably ought to automate that, but itās only 2/3 times a year I need to remember to change it).
This one is wrong. hvac_action should be none.
The change is not instant but should appear in the integration within a few seconds.
Gotcha - maybe that is where the gap is (setting vs automatically switching)
I wouldāve assumed it reliably shows āecoā regardless of how you get to that mode, but doesnāt appear to be working for me.
Iāll play around and also see if I can see how things show up in the Google console
Hi Allen - and no it doesnāt appear to change, but Iāll do some more tests and see if I can narrow down where issue may be
Your first one is correctā¦
preset_mode: eco
The second image is correct also.
You are correct, I read it wrong and thought heating was off. It will shown none when not heating, removed it from my post.
Canāt redo the screenshot now, guests are in and random heating changes arenāt coolā¦
Edit: and re-added the corrected screenshot showing hvac_action = off
Since HA seems to be the only app that works well with nest camera API, is there any way to restream the camera feed to other applications such as Blue Iris?
Hi, just this week Iāve proposed exposing a Rest API to allow home assistant stream sources be used by other products in the ecosystem REST API for Stream Sources Ā· Discussion #695 Ā· home-assistant/architecture Ā· GitHub ā in particular for nest or other cloud cameras. I gave Frigate as an example where it would still need glue on the Frigate side to support the home assistant cameras. Are you familiar enough with the details of Blue Iris to know if that would work for you?
Sounds like a good idea. I think we have something already with camera proxy but it requires a long lived auth token to be sent in the header bearer which unfortunately most clients canāt do
Ah well this will also require a bearer token as well, like all other Rest APIs.
Hi Folks, wanted to share this great video from mostlychris that walks through getting the Nest integrations setup in about 15-20 minutes:

Iāve gotten everything setup and working and can see my recent events from my Doorbell (Battery) in Home Assistant, but Iām not exactly how to work with the snapshot videos. I read over the documentation stating that Home Assistant isnāt intended to be a NVR platform, but Iād still like to be able to pull those files and save them locally without having to manually do it. Am I just missing some steps somewhere?
