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

@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.

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!

@phideltdexter Great to hear - thanks for the update!

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?

@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.

@michael5r Nope, that did the trick. Thanks.
