Nest API help

Hey all.

I used to have Nest working in HA, but things went wrong, and I ended up having to start from scratch with a clean install of everything, now I cant get it to work.

I deleted all my previous Nest setups in the API and pubsub etc, and went through the guide again.
As far as I can tell, everything is set up as it should be, but after I get through the signing into Google, selecting my cameras, agreeing to everything etc, I get this appear in the integrations page.

I have added everything in the config yaml as I shoud, so I’m kinda puzzled where I’m going wrong.

This is a brand new install, the only thing I have set up is Nabu Casa cloud so I can remote in to set this up, and added file editor so I can edit the yaml. I’ve ignored it wanting to set everything else up so I can get this working first.

Any ideas?

Here’s a copy of the yaml.
I’ve made sure to use the subscriber ID and not the topic id for pubsub, so can rule that out as I’ve seen other people get that part mixed up.

Under troubleshooting in the docs it says this:

No devices or entities are created if the SDM API is not returning any devices for the authorized account. Double-check that GCP is configured correctly to Enable the API and authorize at least one device in the OAuth setup flow. If you have trouble here, then you may want to walk through the Google instructions and issue commands directly against the API until you successfully get back the devices.

Does this describe your issue? It looks like what you’re seeing since you seem to be correctly authorized but have no devices.

Nailed it!

I’d not clicked that as when I tried it before it was just repeating having me select the project and put in my callback URL, so I ignored it as I’d already put that in in the initial set up.
I did it anyway and I have nothing else to lose, and then the devices/entities all showed up!

Very odd, but at least it’s working again now. Thanks for the tip!
