Nest Device Type

Now SmartThings can talk to your Nest thermostat.

Note: this is technically against the Nest TOS. So use at your own risk.

Installation

  1. Create a new device type (https://graph.api.smartthings.com/ide/devices)

    • Name: Nest
    • Author: [email protected]
    • Namespace: smartthings-users
    • Capabilities:
      • Polling
      • Relative Humidity Measurement
      • Thermostat

      • Sensor
    • Custom Attributes:

  2. Publish the device type (next to Save button) > For Me

  3. If you want to switch from slider controls to buttons, comment out the slider details line and uncomment the button details line.

  4. Create a new device (https://graph.api.smartthings.com/device/list)

    • Name: Your Choice
    • Device Network Id: Your Choice
    • Type: Nest (should be the last option)
    • Location: Choose the correct location
    • Hub/Group: Leave blank
  5. Update device preferences

    • Click on the new device to see the details.
    • Click the edit button next to Preferences
    • Fill in your information.
    • To find your serial number, login to http://home.nest.com. Click on the thermostat you want to control. Under settings, go to Technical Info. Your serial number is the second item.
  6. That's it, you're done.
