Ok thanks I’ll follow your progression 
@vinodmishra I used your pull to fix the cameras, but they disconnect after about an hour and I need to restart the HA server to have them reconnect. Are you seeing something similar or any hints as to where I should look to debug?
Edit to add what logs I do have:

@weidercs I only use the HA UI occassionally but I have had reports of people having this issue. There is someone who has tried a fix and apparently it works(probably to do with the expiring token) and I plan to add it in this weekend(hopefully). Although, considering there is a pinned issue on the github project saying community has to provide camera support and my merge request has been open for two months, I am guessing original author has been really busy and probably haven’t had time so I am not sure when it will be merged.
I don’t mind forking and modifying (or using your fork), do you have a link to the fix you mentioned, I can try to incorporate it as well.
NM, found it in the issue log. Will give it a go.
There’s a way to use the presence sensor inside the nest?

Things were working great until about a week ago, then all the sudden started getting this error:
Error during setup of component badnest
Traceback (most recent call last):

self._user_id = r.json()[“userid”]
KeyError: ‘userid’
Copied and pasted email and password into nest website to login and works fine, so that doesn’t seem to be the problem.
Config has:
#badnest
badnest:
email: '[email protected]'
password: 'XXX'
region: us
climate:
- platform: badnest
scan_interval: 10
Again things were working prior. Any thoughts?
For Nest accounts the login process has changed which i assume may never will be solved, you have to migrate to Google account and use the cookie/token method.
Hi all, i’m trying to configure my nest cams with this but i dont know why is no working for me, i dont have any new entity in ha and no errors in log either so, i’m doing something wrong? Here my config:

Only just found this.
I’ve been looking for something like this for a couple of weeks.
Great work !
Thanks.
Hi, I am using google account login for a long time, without any issues. Since a couple of days, I am getting frequent logouts. Even if I create new issuetoken and cokkie, still, after a couple of hours disconnects from my nest account. Does anybody see something similar in homekit using badnest? The nest app however remains signed in. Is this an issue on nest side? Thanks
Same problem for me
This works really well. Has anyone gotten this to work with 2 nest thermostats?
I only see one.
My Config…
badnest:
issue_token: "xxxtokenXXX
cookie: "OCAK=xxxThecookiexxx
api_key : “xxxTheAPIkeyxxx”
climate:
- platform: badnest
scan_interval: 10
Mine shows 3 nest thermostats. I am using the default settings following the directions for the “Google,” account.
I only used the Google sign in. Switched my account from nest to Google prior to adding this add on through HACS.
It also sees my nest hello. This is one integration that worked for me from day one. Sometimes it has stopped setting the camera due to an API change by Google but this has been fixed fairly quickly by members of the community. Wish I could help you troubleshoot more. Hopefully others can offer some tips.

Thank you…I am very new and most likely missing something on my end. The one that shows up works absolutely perfectly so I am confident the addon works well 
Thank you 
Hello,
I can’t see my nest hello cam 
Anything special in the config yaml ?
Thanks
camera:
- platform: badnest
Per the docs.
