Mode changes with nest support

SmartApps & Automations

So I used the codes provided by @dianoga and created a new Away/Home mode on the Nest Thermostat based on the Presence Sensor.

I didn’t like the away Mode so I decided to let Nest change its modes based on my presence. It has worked well so far, and I wanted to share with all of you in case you guys didn’t like away modes.

I even created a little icon for it :smiley:
