Nest Thermostat
Has anybody managed to get a Nest thermostat working with pimatic? I have seen a plugin for Nest but after a short e-mail chat with the developer, the plugin is ‘far’ from working. So before a go into fixing the plugin, I was wondering has somebody looked in to this already?
Regards,
Ruud
ps. developement or how-to, depending on the answer. I hope, How-to…

As far as I can see the plugin is just a skeleton. As John also started to develop a nest library may this is a good starting point to look at. https://github.com/johnwyles/node-nest-api
Apart from this, the Nest guys provide sample code for their cloud APIs if your like to have your thermostats in the cloud which is pretty much part of the Nest business story as far as I understand this. The APIs are basically Web Services you an access via secure WebSocket client. Should be straightforward. Have a look at https://developer.nest.com/documentation/cloud/sample-code

I have contacted John, the author of pimatic-nest to check how we can progress on this.
