MMM-Nest-Status - New module for your Nest thermostats and protect smoke detectors!

[PhiDeltDexter]

Love the screenshots, its exactly what I am looking for for a dashboard. However I cannot get it to load. I have gone through as much troubleshooting as I can think of, including starting over from scratch with a new RPi image.

I go through the steps for setup and enter the numbers necessary from my Nest Developer account, PIN etc. It gives me the attached response with a token.

The issues that the token comes across as

token:"c.Ythenabunchofletters
thoseletterscontinue }
}

So my question is - is the "c. part of the token? I have tried copying the whole thing and it throws an error when reloading MM.

module: "mmm-nest-status",
position: "lower_third",
config:  {
               token:"c.Yblah
moreletters           }
}

I have tried copying the "c.yblah without an end quote and add a , and it throws an error.

token:"c.Yblah,

When I run config:check in MagicMirror folder it says there are no syntax errors but when I reload MM it throws an error.

I have tried adding a " to the end and a , and MM loads, but my icon looks like this:

token:"c.Yblah",

The README shows as an int for the type so I should not need the " ", but thats the only way to make MM load.

I have also tried all of the above steps without the c. and it still shows the loading icon.

I apologize if this is something very simple that I just cannot figure out, so any help would be appreciated.

So yours is like this try belows config just put in your token number

{
module: ‘mmm-nest-status’,
position: ‘bottom_left’, // pick whichever position you want
config: {
token: “c.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX”,
displayMode: ‘all’,
displayType: ‘list’,
thermostatsToShow: ‘all’,
units: ‘metric’,
thermostatSize: ‘small’,
alignment: ‘left’,
// … and whatever else configuration options you want to use
}
},

@phideltdexter My bad - there’s a typo in the Read Me, the token should be a string, not an int (I have updated the module now to reflect this).

Try this in your config:

{
    module: "mmm-nest-status",
    position: "lower_third",
    config: {
        token: "c.XXXXXXXXXX",
    }
},

where, of course, you replace c.XXXX with your actual token.

@michael5r

Just wanted to update you. I needed to update both the mmm-nest-status and MM overall and now it appears to be working fine. Thank you for your clarification!

[michael5r]

@phideltdexter Great to hear - thanks for the update!

[PhiDeltDexter]

Would you have any way to add the outdoor temperature reading that the Thermostat has?

Unfortunately, no - the outdoor temperature reading on a Nest thermostat isn’t actually coming from Nest; they send your location data to the Weather Channel (yes, really!) and then show the returned value on the thermostat itself.

As such, they don’t include the outdoor temperature as part of their API data.

Just wanted to announce that there’s a new version out of both my Nest modules!

I added functionality to support Paviro’s MMM-PIR-Sensor module meaning that the modules can now be suspended & resumed based on movement detected through a PIR sensor (or whatever else you’re using for motion detection).

Check out the release notes here:
https://github.com/michael5r/mmm-nest-status/releases/tag/1.4.0

And for mmm-nest-cameras:

This is my first module I am attempting to install, and keep getting a Nest API Error:null. Total noob here, but I have registered as a developer, obtained Nest token/pincode, and believe I input code correctly into config.js file per below.

module: "mmm-nest-status",
position: "top_right",
config: {
    token: "my8characterpinfromnest",
    displayType: "grid",
    displayMode: "all",
    thermostatsToShow: "all",

Any ideas how to resolve the API issue?

[michael5r]

@eawalker1 If your token is 8 characters long, it’s not the correct Nest token. It should be a long-ass string that usually begins with c. I think you’re confusing the token with the PIN you get from Nest.

Did you run the getToken.sh bash script in the module? It has multiple steps - you start by entering the client id and client secret which then generates a URL you need to open in a browser to get a PIN.

You then enter the PIN in the bash script and on the next screen, it should display your actual token.
