Integrating Nest Protect smoke alarms

I’ve tried the most recent version in HACS as well as manually installing 0.4.0b2 and 0.4.0b1 and am never able to get this to work. I followed the instructions up top to get the issue_token and cookie.

While the HA GUI says “Unable to connect” I do see network connections from my HA system to the IP for accounts.google.com when using tcpdump on my firewall.

I don’t see any logs for this integration in home-assistant.log so I’m not sure what else to do as far as troubleshooting goes. Any ideas anyone?

EDIT: Added a screenshot. Disregard the ‘unexpected error’ because after submitting the creds below, I get the “Failed to connect” error.

EDIT2: Solved my issue. IPv6 wasn’t getting out on my IOT vlan. Even though HA did an A and AAAA lookup, it never fell back to IPv4 for some reason. Explicitly permitted IPv6 to 443/tcp and this nest integration is now working with 0.4.0b4.

FYI - To add multiple Nest Protects, while adding them to my network, one at a time,…I had to reboot HA after each.

I’ve used the original API based method for years in my last home assistant install, and am about to try the beta… but I just wanted to ask… are there any security implications of sharing what looks like a Google Account cookie here? Is it only giving access to nest, or the entire google account?

(I’m not saying I don’t trust the author by the way… just assessing before committing)

You’re legendary! This is still working exactly as stated from Aug 2023. I am using:

  • Core 2024.7.4
  • Supervisor 2024.08.0
  • Operating System 12.4
  • Frontend 20240710.0

The only thing was that I downloaded beta version 0.4.0b5 (by clicking on “Releases”, under the latest release candidate here:

Brilliant!!! Have been banging my head against the wall with the native Nest integration for months and stumbled across this today. Within 15mins, I could finally see the Nest Protect in all its glory within HA. So happy :star_struck:

Core: 2024.8.2
Supervisor: 2024.08.0
OS: 13
Front end: 20240808.0
Ha-nest-protect: v0.4.0b5

I got my smoke detectors connected but now i want to add them to my HomeKit (Homekit bridge via Home Assistant).
I have 10 smoke detectors and get 190 entities. All of them are switches (Heads-Up,
Nightly Promise, Pathlight, Steam Check) and binary sensors, but even selecting all of them, the only things i get in HomeKit are the switches. I don’t get a smoke detector or CO detector. Is this possible?
