NST Manager Manual Mode

Below is a copy of the bug a issued today. Bug I was hoping someone else ran into this issue too.

I love the feature that allows myself to make schedules based on remote sensors temperature. That feature is solid and works very well. But there are times when my SO wants to raise or lower the heat. So I created a button that activates a ‘Manual Temp’ mode that isn’t part of the schedules. I even went one step further and added button must be OFF to enter schedule mode. I thought I had it working, but Watchdog feature of NST allows cancels out the temperature command with a "whomadechanges ".

Verify the following before opening an issue:

  • You followed the Nest Developer documentation here? Nest Developer Account Creation
  • That OAuth is Enabled for the SmartApp under the IDE.
  • The SmartApps and ALL (5) Devices Handlers are using the latest code available.
  • You have reviewed the NST Manager Wiki for potential fixes.
  • That ALL SmartApps and Device Handlers have been Published for You in the IDE.

About Your Setup:

  • How many Thermostats?: 1
  • Using the Nest Presence Device? No
  • Using the Nest Weather Device? No
  • iOS or Android?: iOS
  • Mobile App Version: original

Expected Behavior

Be able to adjust the temperature to what I want when in manual temp’ mode

Current Behavior

NST Automation cancels out temperature and resets it.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Turn on Button to enter ‘Manual Temp’ mode
  2. Change the temperature
  3. NST Automation cancels out temperature

Context

I want to be able to manual adjust temperatures in my house without having to edit the current automation schedules for nst to allow the adjustment.

Please include a copy of your log under the IDE if possible

You probably won’t see any fix coming. Anthony is no longer maintaining the code due to Google breaking the Works WITH Nest API.

Until they know the replacement API it’s not worth doing any changes.

@tonesto7?

Are you using the virtual thermostat to change the temperature? (you can create a virtual thermostat when you enable remote sensor. It should allow overrides for 4 hours or until next scheduled change.

I suggest you try this.
