How to Connect Nest Thermostat

[Shady Hamilton 11]

Dear All,

 

This is my First topic here, i am moving from Vera to Fibaro, I always wondered which one is the better controller, so I have to have hands on i guess to know which one is the better...

My first issue is my Nest Thermostat controllers, i have two of them, i read around the forum that there used to be a plug in but it is stopped by Fibaro to be updated or something, and I contacted Fibaro support, they said they are not going to work on the Nest plug-in because they are working on their own thermostat, so they don't want to support Nest in a way....

 

so my question is, since Nest is one of the most popular thermostat controller, did anybody find a way to connect Nest thermstat to Fibaro HC2 please?

 

Many thanks,

Shady

I hope I have not missed any small step.....

 

YESS, tnx Skywalker, i made it too.

Needed postman also, but i got the codes.

In your manual is missing that you have to edit in the scene the vd id's in line 27,28 and 29 but that is obvious.

Tnx again, you made my (satur)day.

Great to be of help :).

One mention: it's not my manual - cannot take credit for it, it is downloaded from the links I already mentioned (posted on this topic by other colleagues months ago). It was just uploaded in HTML format, so I took out the info inside and post it as text, to be easier for copy/paste.

in the steps I have written, I mentioned to edit lines 18 -> 30 ?

The Postman always does the trick  

 

Many thanks! works like a charme!

Well, that was only fun for 1 week, it is not working anymore.

Anyone has a solution?

 

[DEBUG] 20:33:02: Sat 09/01 updateThermostatInfo(): Can't update thermostat. Access Token is empty.
[DEBUG] 20:33:02: Sat 09/01 getAccessToken() failed: 400

I found that I had the same problem Made it working by repeating the last steps (create a new authorization code, new tokens).

It started to work, but as I don't know the root cause, it may happen again in a few days :(..... Maybe somebody finds a clue, as far as I have seen only the access_token is expiring in one hour (3599 seconds), the refresh token shall work. And in the scene, we fill only the refresh_token, the access_token is left empty (on purpose, I assume).

 

And I have another problem which I found also for some other virtual devices...after changing the icon to a nice one, one click and goes again to the standard icon of virtual devices, the blue cube... Any ideas? I have the same on samsung VD (also not working..) and apple TV...also with problems...

?? Still working fine. So there is hope. I didn’t touch anything. 

[rvelthoen 12]

I can make a new refreshtoken, but not on a weekly bases.

So i wait for a final solution.

any clue on the VD icon auto resetting itself?

Try:

fibaro:call(id, "setProperty", "currentIcon", iconid);

in the mainloop.

[skywalker 19]

Just tried. on first click (actually after EACH click)  it makes the blue cube again, but now one second later I have the good icon again.

Strange behaviour......

I have the same behaviour also on Apple TV VD......

 

LE: seems that this is the "normal" way - icon changes to the icon of the particular button pressed. And then it goes back.... you can use fibaro:sleep(miliseconds number) if eant to keep the pressed icon for a specific period of time.

Nest is working again with a new refresh_token.

Strange.....

[rvelthoen 12]

And broken again.

So every 7 days my refresh token expires.

weird 

 

Still working here. Now and then I use the HC2 interface. I never use the google login. Most of the time I use the Google Nest iPad app.

As far as I remember, your process of taking the tokens was with your MAC, different than our "postman" way.

Can you please adapt the step by step for the MAC and I will ask somebody to obtain the token for me?

 

I see no other difference or reason of expiring.... Maybe the tokens we get expire because of the process....
