@tonesto7 I can take a look later tonight to verify but if brad is correct the way you could work around latency issues like that is by using asynchronous http instead of sync. Async will send the request and then continue execution of the function. Then when the http responses completes the handler will fire in a new sandbox with another 20 seconds (IIRC it has the same timeout).obviously if firebase is having issues and is timing out you won’t get your metrics but at least you can limit your exposure in ST.

NST mgr only uses async. The issue in the platform. It does seem better, but this is a diversion talking about firebase and async.
Hey Everyone,
I have noticed over the last few days that my Set to ECO if Contact Open isn’t triggering ECO on my Thermostat. Also when I go into thermostat device on ST anything I do in ST sends the notification that it was complete but Nest isn’t changing. If I make changes on the nest app they update correctly on the ST app.
Any Idea why this would have stopped working in the last week? I updated NSTManager and devices yesterday to see if that would help but no change.
thanks for the help!
Couple of things
ST did some major platform changes thursday and again yesterday.
This caused issues for many automations using scheduling, etc.
It also introduced upgrades to groovy which caused issues.
Most of this appear better now, you may want to go into NST manager, and hit save/done.
If you still have problems, there is a small set of fixes we will release shortly due to the groovy changes.

Ok thanks Eric!
I removed the automations, rebuilt them and saved them. That still didn’t help. Haven’t reinstalled NST Manager but was wondering if that was the next step.
I’ll wait and see if the updates help.
Thanks for the help!
I don’t know the from / to of the groovy versions. If we did we could check release notes.

Tony has put out an updated NST Manager 5.5.1
It has fixes for some of the groovy updates ST applied recently.
It is suggested everyone update to this version and associated automations and dth’s.

Yup Me too
Do you update with the github integration or by hand?
Please be sure that you updated all smart apps and device handlers.
If you still have the problem, private message me to debug further.
By github intergration
updated around 11PM GMT and the last notification I got was 7AM GMT there was a notification every 20mins between then
Same here. updated via Community Installer
Please check if things are better now with community installer
I made a small change
You might need to update Nest-Manager app.

My Nest App isn’t changing locations to away or home? The automations don’t seem to work…I updated and saved the settings.
I’ve been having a lot of trouble for awhile now with blocked commands sent to Nest, and I finally spent some time looking at my logs. It looks like NST Manager is sending a command to set the circulate fan to Auto, and then another to set it to On. It’s doing BOTH commands about once per minute. I turned off circulation for now, and that has resolved the Nest API block, but I would really like to have that on. I only have one thermostat and one set of temperature automation schedules, so I’m not sure why it would be doing this.
I’ve used NST Manager for some time with the Nest Protects that I have, but I’ve just recently added a couple of Nest Cam Outdoor cameras. I’ve done a few searches and attempted to wade through the immense amount of information in this post, but I’m hoping someone will have mercy and answer my question even if it has been before. The question is this: what is the required setup to get the cameras to trigger motion events in ST? Each camera is configured in Nest to only notify me of “person” events, though it obviously still detects normal motion as well. Within the device config in ST for each camera, I have “Only Trigger Motion Events When Person is Detected” enabled. I see this in the logs for the camera device in ST, but nothing is logged by “Simple Event Logger” (or triggered in my SmartApp):

Any ideas?
I don’t know if this is specifically a NST manager question. but is there a way to turn the Nest heat/cool off, but keep the HVAC fan recirculating? when i turn heat/cool off on the Nest thermostat, it won’t run the fan. i typically have been adjusting the cooling setpoint up to 80 or something to keep ac from running, since i have doors open. i want to keep fan recirculating to push out some of the warm air upstairs.
problem is my webcore alert keeps texting me because heat/ac is on and doors have been open.
New question.
Setup:
Nest v3 connected in living room to single on/off heating for entire house. No zones. But every room has Philio zwave motion/temp sensor.
Start Situation:
Single person arrives home. Nest phone location and motion detects this and heats up for comfort in living room.
Event Requirement:
Person moves to other room where there is Philio zwave motion/temp sensor.
Despite no motion on Nest in living room, but with motion and temp on Philio in other room, heating is therefore turned on to give comfort temperature in other room, whatever the Nest itself reads in living room. This rule is only active until 11pm. After that time only Nest motion and temperature in living room for controlling heating on/off.
Is this possible?
