Nest thermostat motion sensor

[stenuo (Andrea)]

Hi,
I have a nest thermostat successfully integrated in home assistant. Do you know if there is any chance to catch when the screen of the thermostat turns on? The screen usually turns on when people approach to thermostat and I need to use it to start an automation in home assistant.

Thanks for help!

Hello, I would like to share my google nest thermostat motion detection code. This way motion can be detected by your google nest and for example lights can be turned on. In order to make this work: add this into configuration.yaml binary_sensor: - platform: ping host: ip adress nest count: 1 scan_interval: 1 name: ping_nest Then create the following automation: - id: '1692558832489' alias: Lights on by Nest motion description: '' trigger: - platform: state …
