[BETA][CLOSED] Nest Manager


We need 10-15 testers to help identify any bugs that may exist in the new Nest App and Device Types and provide some feedback.

Advantages

  • Able to add multiples devices from a single SmartApp
  • No need to many enter device serial number and login info in preferences
  • No need to use Polling apps for device updates
  • One API call updates all Nest devices
  • Since there is only a single poll for all devices, updates are more often

Disadvantages

  • The info available through the Official API is very limited compared to the hacked version currently available.

If your interested please send me a private PM

I wish I had the nest! I would love to help you with this!

I’m game I have 2 smoke 3 cams and a 3rd gen

Looking very nice indeed

Alright everyone thanks for the responses. I’ve reached enough testers for now and if no major arrise I will open to more people.
I’m just making a few last minute modifications to the app and making sure I can put as much info into the readme as I can. I will send something out later today.

I’m just reset my entire hub and I’m adding devices. With 7 that protects I would love to get this versus putting them in Manually.

i have 1 nest thermostat and 2 protects if you need another tester.

Thanks for the requests. We are trying to get a couple minor issues resolved and then I will add in some more users. Hopefully in the next day or two.

Let me know! I have two nest thermostats and would love to give this a try!

Thanks for your interest.
I’ve been trying to track down a bug causing issues which was hopefully just fixed. Once I get verification that it works and is working stable I will begin adding in more people.

I’m really intersted! i have a nest protect and 3 cams. Will be getting a thermostat soon too! Im really hoping for integration since other cameras arent that great that actually utilize zwave or zigbee

Unfortunately it won’t support cams. Because that’s difficult to integrate with ST and I don’t have any to test with

Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for your work @tonesto7 but not only that, this is an insanely professional looking SmartApp. If SmartThings/Nest can ever work things out to provide official integration, they’d do well to just use this.

I have a Nest Thermostat and at some point will get Protects around the house, I cannot wait for your official release.

When you say, ā€œNo need to use Polling apps for device updatesā€ does that mean changes in temp, humid, and adjustments made to set temp are all pushed real time? I have some keen home vents that are itching for such a solution for the nest… Thanks!

The App handles all commands and polling removing the need for polling apps

Unfortunately the limitations ST has in place don’t allow real-time incoming events. The only way to make that work is with a self-hosted in between server to relay data to a Web Endpoint

The handles all commands and polling
