I made a crappy Nest Thermostat integration that will work as a stopgap until alternatives come out

Got it working. Had to switch to google login. Would not work with Nest login.

Thanks @vinodmishra your fix brought my cameras back!

Not working with nest login this is the error:

I have disabled f2a and i do not have googlelized my nest account. Do i need to convert it?

353

Yep, if there won’t be any update which solves the captcha, the only solution for now is migration to Google account.

354

Uhm… if i migrate account i loose my ifttt integration right?

356

No idea, i stopped using IFTTT few years ago (especially Nest hadn’t anything special in applets if i remember correctly).
But if you have HA, sky is the limit for control things - there is even IFTTT integration for HA so if you need IFTTT, try Nest -> HA -> IFTTT.

357

Great, migrating the account making it works. I can find only the entity thermostat and not sensors, i have to manully add it? How? Sorry for the noob question…

358

Do you have

sensor:
  - platform: badnest

in your configuration.yaml?

359

Yes this is my config:

badnest:
  issue_token: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/iframerpc?"
 cookie: "..."
  region: eu

climate:
  - platform: badnest
    scan_interval: 10

sensor:
  - platform: badnest
360

Unfortunately I cannot find it under entities.

361

Anyone have a solution?

362

Template them out?

  - platform: badnest
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      hallway_thermometer:
        friendly_name: "Hallway Temperature"
        unit_of_measurement: 'C'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.yourdevicehere', 'current_temperature') | round(0) }}"
        device_class: "temperature"
363

I have to put your code under
Sensor:

  • platform: badnest

?

364

Yes apologies, I missed a line. Here is my config -

climate:
  - platform: badnest
    scan_interval: 10
sensor:
  - platform: badnest
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      hallway_thermometer:
        friendly_name: "Hallway Temperature"
        unit_of_measurement: 'C'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.yourdevicehere', 'current_temperature') | round(0) }}"
        device_class: "temperature"
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      hallway_thermometer_humidity:
        friendly_name: "Hallway Humidity"
        unit_of_measurement: '%'
        value_template: "{{ state_attr('climate.yourdevicehere', 'current_humidity') | round(0) }}"
        device_class: "humidity"
365

Ooooh, sorry, i missunderstood your question. I though you meant Protect sensors.

The attributes of the thermostat really must be “templated out”. :grinning: (there is also another way but this one is easier)

366

now it works :smiley:

367

I’ve only just started down the HA path in the last week or so with no prior understanding or experience at all. I got this up an running with a little bit of reading/understanding and following directions. I couldn’t get it to work with an old Nest account (no 2FA), but once I switched it to a Google account then all was good.

The thing I like the most though is that I can now tell Siri to set the Nest to a certain temperature as I have HA sending everything over to HomeKit and it all works without a hitch.

Thanks for all the hard work!

368

Have you fixed this problem with your hello cam? I’ve the same issue

369

Hi. No, I haven’t solved this one yet! Working on it. Hope I get some answers :wink:
