Nest Thermostat OAuth

[blindShame]

The instructions aren’t clear - do I need to create a Nest developer account just to use my thermostat with Smartthings? If so, are there instructions available for the new version of the Nest developer account?

Hi,

You don’t need to create a Nest developer account if you use MyNextManager:

[RELEASE] Resilient MyNextManager & MyNext Devices for your Nest® products with native UI (for faster rendering on Android/iOS) & all ST standard capabilities + high refresh rates + No complicated developer account setup!

I’m happy to announce a new alternative for ST users who have Nest products at home. This new alternative leverages the standard ST UI (for faster rendering on both Android & iOS) & all ST standard capabilities plus new features from the Nest APIs for better synergy between the 2 ecosystems (ex. setETA for geofencing and comfort & energy saving tips with the NestGetTips smartapp and voice commands). With my code, there is no need to create a Nest Developer account and set up different permissions as Nest has authorized MyNextManager app for many users. This simplifies the Nest Setup process a lot for the end users and avoid subsequent errors/exceptions in operations. The code has been designed to work with an ecosystem of smartapps acting as “micro services”. The design is NOT a big m…

If you want to use any other alternative, yes, you’d need to create one, and it’s not simple as you need to set up different permissions. And, If you make any errors, then the devices won’t work.

Regards.
