*** No longer supported *** [RELEASE] My Next Manager for your Nest® products: migrated to custom capabilities (home/away, motion, presence, and more)!

Hi Yvesracine,

I am also facing the same issue when i try to login in newer version 3.5.1. I am getting the below error message.
java.net.URISyntaxException: Illegal character in query at index 84: (Here is my copied google_issue_token_url) has no special character like %20 or space. It says that i cant login.

Kindly please help to resolve this issue.

See my previous message. There is some kind of invalid characters in your URL. Please double check your URL first. My code can only convert spaces, not other invalid characters. You need to check your URL at position 84 in the string.

Hello,

For using the [MonitorAndSetNestHumidity] Smartapp is there any good Smarthings compatible Outdoor Humidity Sensor you can recommend, that works well with your code too?

Thanks,

hi @Cartik_Seshan, I don’t have any outdoor sensor anymore. I used to have the Aeotec multisensor 6, but it’s too cold where I live (Canada) for such outdoor sensors. The batteries don’t last long. I use now the weatherStation.

Regards.

I’ve got two of these outdoors for the past few years (in Brampton ON). Direct power and have had no issues so far.

Hi Yves, MyNextManager smartapp works very well for me, but I have to refresh the Google cookie every few days. Is there a more robust approach to setting up permanent access to the Nest?

@Laddie, are you changing any of your Google settings? If you change your Google MFA or password, you will always need to refresh the cookie and url every time.

I’ve had several Nest tstats running personnally, and I haven’t had to change anything for months without any issues.

In brief, there is nothing I can do on my side of things if your Google settings change.

P.S. You’d also need to keep your Nest session open, and not log off after extracting the cookie & url.

Regards.

Hi Yves, no, I’m not changing MFA or password. I’m following your instructions and closing the incognito window (not logging out of the Nest session) after I get the cookie. I retain access for a day or two.

Interestingly, I only ever have to update the cookie, the URL remains the same.

I’m wondering if it might be something to do with shutting down my PC, but I’ve been looking for a correlation with what I do and nothing is jumping out at me.

Can anyone else offer any experience on maintaining access to Google Nest?

Hi @Laddie , there must be something related to your Google Account or your setup, as mine is a Google account, and I don’t have this issue.

Regards.

Hello @yvesracine

Just bought and installed the bundle. Wondering where I can find more information on ghe NextSensor. I dont know what ghe on/off switch is for. I was hoping that it I could mark a slave sensor as the temp setting for the tstat like how they do it in the Nest app.

Regards

Hi @Skystream , you can elect a sensor for temperature measurement in your home by switching it to on.

Regardsl

Hmm. Initial status in Smartthibgs is already on. Hitting it doesn’t seem to reflect in Nest. Still have to go to nest to change. I’ll have to take a look at the logs, but it doesn’t seem to respond.

You may have other issues. Make sure that your auth tokens are still valid.

I think I see where the issue is. Looking at the logs, the MyNextManagerV3 is looking for the parent Tstat which it couldn’t find when running through the smartapp.

I saw in the wiki here (MyNextManager Wiki); I am running into issue #15, which the app can’t seem to find my Nest Thermostat (2016 model year before google nest). So I have to make sure the smartapp can find the thermostat first before it can handle the sensors.
I ran through the instructions and did:

  • A full reset on the physical thermostat, connected wifi, then add to nest account on the Tstat.
  • Removed the smartapp and reinitialized through MyNextManager.
  • Able to grab the sensor but still doesn’t see my Tstat.

Any ideas?

Hi @Skystream, please remove your logs from the forum as they contain confidential information about your Nest devices and location.

Also, this issue with your tstat not appearing in MyNextManager has been addressed many times in the forum.

In brief, this is not related to my code per se. It’s linked to the way your Nest tstat is associated to your Nest account.

Refer to my previous post

P.S. You have to select the WWN (Works With Nest) reset option by scrolling down…

Just purchased and tried to add the app but didn’t seem to work. OAuth, publish as usual. I didn’t enter the log in info but I should at least see the app, right? Delete and tried again, no go. Please help.

Hi @DNA1010,

As indicated at the store and in the installation pdf file in the zip, please follow all the steps in the Readme.

You’d need to publish the code under the right shard first as stated in the prerequisites. Otherwise, you won’t see the smartapp under the ST mobile app.

Also, since the recent ST app updates, to add a custom smartapp, you’d need to go under Automations> +Add routine (top right corner)>Discover (bottom menu)

Regards

thanks, got everything setup and running.

Hi - I own the full bundle and it works but over time I have had duplicate devices show up (especially with Google Home involved, which I need for assistant).

I also see that the ST/Nest integration still doesn’t support the new cameras and may never support the Protects like you do.

Is there a recommended way to use both ST and your integration to get the best mix of features, like in-app camera support? Should I try to remove all the ST/Nest integration entirely and only use your integration?

Hi, cams are not supported by MyNextManager, so if you want to use your cams in SmartThings, you’d need the stock integration.

The 2 can coexist as they are not using the same APIs.

I personally don’t use the stock integration so I’m afraid that I cannot expand on this topic further.
