MMM-Nest-Camera: Display Live Nest Cameras in Magic Mirror

[potts-mike]

Does this require the camera to be shared publicly?

Will this work with Nest Hello? Does this require a public url, similar to the iFrame solution?

Hi, Awesome you build this!!! I’ve been trying to use it but it just doesn’t work. I followed the instructions carefully and created the project in the nest developer site, got the code by executing the file you included and then I copied and pasted the code it gave me:

{
module: “MMM-Nest-Camera”,
position: “middle_center”,
config: {
token: “mytoken” }
},

When I launch the MagicMirror, it displays a nest icon in the middle center with 3 dots, but it doesn’t display anything, Ive also change the code for this one:

{
module: “MMM-Nest-Camera”,
position: “middle_center”,
config: {
token: “mytoken”,
mode: ‘video’}
},

little help please? :)

Thanks!

I was able to get this to work in image mode only (video mode will not actually play the video).

I had to do a totally removal of the module, reinstall of the module and a refresh of MM. When I did a reboot, the token seemed to stop working.

Also, the public URL IS required for this.

What are the steps for the nest developers section?
I don’t know where I would get the Support URL from? Would that be the public ip of my magic mirror?

[update] n/m finally got that it was a support url

@tagriel I am having same problem. Were you able to resolve this? Or find another module to work?

@eawalker1 You could try my nest-cameras module:
https://github.com/michael5r/mmm-nest-cameras

It autoplays the video.

Bear in mind that if you want to view a Nest camera video stream, the camera will need to be publicly shared - it doesn’t matter which MM module you use, there’s no getting around this currently.

@michael5r Hi, Does your module also manage Google Nest Hello Doorbells cameras ?
