So, my code works for old Nest thermostats, maybe not the most recent ones with the latest firmware (up to about a month ago it was still working). You can imagine that I don't test my code
for every new batch of Nest thermostats (HW/firmware) that is released on the market...
As per another Nest user who just responded to your posts:
P. S. I do provide some support via email, and you don't always see the end results in the forum as most users don't post their logs for data confidentiality reasons.
With the announcement from Google that they are fully shutting down Works with Nest on Sept 30th, does this include logging in with our Nest account for your integration app? Just checking if I need to finally switch my Nest account to Google? Or is this only 3rd party integrations?
Hi @3rdStng, yes it looks like my integration will no longer work end of September.
What's annoying is that there is a lot retired Nest hardware as well including Nest Secure and Nest cams... I was quite happy with my Nest cams and I consider that's really planned obsolescence from Google again.
Oh. The entire integration will no longer work? I was thinking just the Nest account would stop. Are you saying the Google account integration will stop too?
My plan as well. But I'm not sure if this integration will completely go away. As I'm reading the FAQ's, the first step is to migrate your Nest account to a Google Home account. And seeing as MyNext Manager supports Google Accounts, I would tend to think it will still work. But I'm not the developer and if it still relies on the Nest API's, regardless of the account used for authentication, then I could see how it would go away.
I really hope that some work around or solution is found. I've loved this app and switching out 2 thermostats and 10 protects would be costly.
@yracine66, Can you clarify or educated guess whether your integrations will continue to work with thermostats if we have already migrated from Nest to Google account?
I have recently acquired some Keen smart vents which need some smart control over them. I’ve gotten rid of my Nest sensors, use a whole bunch of Zooz, Sonoff, and Aqara sensors around the house, and really only use the Nest thermostat to be controlled by Thermostat Controller and Thermostat Scheduler. Will the necessary apps you provide continue to work? Which apps package do you suggest?
Hi @neerav.modi, I'd recommend ScheduleTstatZones which can use different types of sensor to adjust the thermostat's setpoint similar to what's Nest is doing with its Nest sensors.
With this app, you don't need Thermostat Controller or ThermostatScheduler as the ScheduleTstatZones can schedule up to 12 different schedules during the day.
P.S. I have also responded to your email with more details.
Regards.
@yracine66 - Quick question for you. Is there a state or item I can monitor or set notification on to alert me if my AC shuts off due to overflow sensor? The thermostat reports it lost power to the red wire. Not sure if there is a condition or state that is reported by the thermostat that I can send my phone an alert. Thank you for a great app.
My Nest thermostat finally failed due to the known wifi chip in the early versions of the Gen3 units. I replaced the thermostat, but cannot get the MyNextManager to control the new thermostat. It's as if the previous one was never removed. How can I get the MyNext app to see the new thermostat? I've stepped through the app and it shows there, but I think that's the old one. Do I need to Remove the device from the Hubitat hub and then step through the app setup again? I've migrated my account to Google already and the devices are pulled in.
EDIT: I can change the Structure mode between Home and Away, but I cannot set Eco mode or set any temperature point. To me, this shows that the app is connected to the account, but not the thermostat itself.
I get that your app may not work by the end of this month, but I'm hopeful that it will still continue but using the Google auth side. I migrated my account to Google and changed your integration from Nest to Google. Even though I've done this, are you saying that your app still uses the Nest side of the house to work?
I removed my old thermostat from my account, and even told your app to not use cache. But it is still finding my old thermostat and not my new one.
