I’m still in the process of getting my SmartThing HUB up and running. I should also state I am not a programmer but most of the time I can figure most things out. With that said I am trying to get my Nest Thermostats configured by following the directions at this link https://github.com/smartthings…

which nest device did you install? The built in one (which has the issues you described) or the one at the link you provided? You could also try my smartdevice update to that code at https://gist.github.com/pstuart/17cdc5bf36d434baa6ab You will need IDE access and ability to create new DeviceType …

I have access to the develop hub and can create a new device type for all that helps. With support’s help they created a new device type which allowed me to add a new device and see the “missing preferences” panel. So I’ve moved on to adding my Nest Protects however I’ve come across the same problem…

I can’t understand why ST doesn’t allow users to create devices and share them with other users to avoid everyone having to create new device types. It would make the process of adding new devices support or not much easier for their users. This must be their attempt to avoid a lawsuit.

Just curious…what updates did you make to your code from @Dianoga ’s? version? I’m getting my Nest tomorrow just want to make sure I load the right device here since it seems like there is a built in one, @Dianoga ’s and yours

@Ben There is a list of approved devices that can easily be added via you app without having to go to the developer dashboard and create a custom device type and then the device you want to add, think Nest Thermostats. Clearly the work has already been done by others. What I was suggesting is allowi…

They do support community publishing. It’s just very new and (currently) very slow to get new things out the door as they need to be sure of their approval processes.

As @Dianoga states, you can publish for review and publication from the IDE site . As pointed out elsewhere - we need a Getting Started Guide for this sort of stuff so it isn’t so “make your own way”. But this is what we are working toward.

Were you able to get this working? I am having the same problem as you. If so, what did you do to fix it?
