Hello guys  
I have added my 2 nest thermostats and I can control them in the st app. Unfortunately I cannot see them in the homebridge app under thermostats. Is this normal?  
Thanks

Yes. The official nest integration doesn’t work with third party smartapps.

And, there is also a version for the Hubitat platform if you want to switch hub later.

if you are looking to connect nest directly to homekit and avoid going through ST, there is starling home hub that offers a direct connection between nest cams, thermostats, protects, sensors to homekit. any feature in nest (nest account or google account) is available to homekit. i have this and enjoy it.

initial cost might be high to some ($89) but it is another option that is available for users to consider.
