Nest Thermostat on HA 0.41 not working

Configuration
1

Hi everyone,

I finished installing HA on my Pi, but been trying to make my Nest Thermostat appear on the “States” section as a card. I followed the configuration steps found on the website (created the dep account and generated the Product ID and Product Secret) and added this on the config file:

nest:
  client_id: ##CLIENT_ID##
  client_secret: ##CLIENT_SECRET##
  sensors:
   monitored_conditions:
    - 'temperature'
    - 'target'

group:
  living_room:
    name: Living Room
    entities:
      - nest

Every time a restart this is what the log shows:

17-04-02 23:49:05 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [group]: Entity ID nest is an invalid entity id for dictionary value @ data[‘group’][‘living_room’][‘entities’]. Got [‘nest’]. (See /home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml, line 69). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/group/
17-04-02 23:49:05 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup failed for group: Invalid config.

I have the correct IDs from the nest website and the groups were created as in the documentation. Can someone place help me with this? Thanks in advance.

If you truly don’t see your nest in the “current entities” list in the states dev tool. Then the above entity is invalid.

Also please use code blocks to post your code. This will retain the formatting and help others spot if you have a formatting error. The blue box at the top of the page should be able to provide any additional help.

EDIT: Sorry misread your post. So look in the states-dev tool (it’s the < > icon bottom left of the HA menu). Find the proper entity_id of your nest.

Thanks a lot Mike! That was exactly the problem. Just made the change, did the authentication and I see the sensor. :grin:
