New SmartThings user here. I’m 3 weeks into this and I’m hooked already. I’ve already learned so much from the community here and I’ve got several new Device Types and SmartApps installed through the IDE. But I’ve finally hit a roadblock that I can’t figure out or find an answer to myself. I’m usin…

This works 100% for my Z-Wave thermostat. The only thing I can say is this may not work with a nest thermostat. Not sure as i haven’t looked at the device code. If my app sends the right command the device type may need to be tweaked or my app will need to be tweaked to work better with the devic…

@tslagle13 I didn’t mean to imply your code doesn’t work. I’m sure it works perfectly with the officially supported device types. I have also read here about the challenges of integrating with Nest so I understand this may not be easy. I do think you’re on to something with switching the modes arou…

It’s possible the NEST code I wrote from introduced some heat mode issues. I don’t have time to dig in but the code it was based on only dealt with cool mode set temps. I tried to make it work in auto or ranged mode, but could have introduced a bug or two in heat only mode. Didn’t really want to …

So “cool” = “auto”. I’m going to try rearranging the input values to “heat”, “cool”, “auto”, “off” to see if it is just an issue with the order of the modes. @pstuart Your Nest device is better than you’re giving it credit for. I can verify that the mode tile works for all modes in Things. I know w…

Changing the order of the input values didn’t help - “heat” still gives me “cool”. It is going to be cold for a while so I should have plenty of time to dig into the documentation this weekend and see if I can figure this out.

@notoriousbdg - I had seen your code earlier in the week and tried it late the other night with success. But now my Nest tile doesn’t ever auto-refresh in the Things view. Is that normal for your device type?

I set up Pollster on Sunday. OMG what a difference that makes! Now I’ve got @notoriousbdg Nest device type running smoothly as well as @pstuart Thermostat Away Mode on Motion and Schedule and @tslagle13 Temperature Based Thermostat Mode Smartapps. I’m also using @geko Pollster to refresh my Aeon pow…

Try my version of the Nest device type at Nest device type with a bunch of new features. I just did a quick test and the smartapp changes between heat and auto for me.
