[Depecrated] My Next Manager for your Nest® Tstats (firmware below 2.3), Protects and Sensors: all Nest attributes available (home/away, motion detection, setTargetHumidity, setHotWaterBoost) for automation-and no throttling!

Very exciting, thanks for bringing this over from ST here to Hubitat.

The new version (v3.2.1) enables logging by default for the 1st smartapp's execution.
You can download it using the same selffy download link, copy and paste over the existing smartapp's code and redo the cookie & url extraction.

Since this is a paid service, I wanted to ask before doing so.
How quick do the attributes update? Is it dependent on polling frequently? Specially the motion attribute of the protects, what can one expect of them?

Hi @MrPancake, it's been polled according to a configurable polling interval (1,5,10,15,30) minutes.
Of course, for the Nest Protects, you can choose every minute.

Now, as you are in the UK, some contributors have reported that sometimes the motion detection doesn't work well over there.

It all depends on your model and firmware version. I know that motion detection works well for the wired topaz model v2.7 and firmware version 3.1.4.rc3 (and up) in North America. The battery ones cannot report motion.

I haven't tested every model and firmware version out there, you may need to upgrade to the latest firmware version.
Regards.

Have to say, a big thank you to @yracine66 for sticking with my issue until it was resolved. Very much appreciated!!

Hi, With my zoning smartapps, you can enable targeted heating/cooling and leveraging all your temp/motion /contact/presence sensors in your home based on the concepts of rooms/zones/schedules.

See

This app/driver allows you to "see" protects, unlike the Google SDM API. I use both, as the SDM API solution provides connections to cameras. I did have some issues with connecting via my Google tokens and the developer (@yracine66) was very responsive to tracking down the bug.

Actually, you can also ''like" my thread...

Are Nest cameras supported as well?

No sorry.

:frowning_face:

Thank you! Works great to pull the Nest Tstats, Sensors, and Protects into Hubitat. Now I'm going to have some fun :slight_smile:

Thnx for the feedback...I'm glad that my hard work is helping this community.

Don't forget that there are some complimentary smartapps for the Nest tstat at my github:

Hi is anyone able to confirm whether this works with the Nest Thermostat E in the UK? I've heard some reports that bad nest doesn't work for some reason.

Hi @a4refillpad,

@Royski is using MyNextManager in the UK for the hot water Boost, but I don't know which tstat model he's using.

The only tstat that may not be supported is the following (Nest thermostat E with heat link):

To be confirmed.

Regards.

Yes all UK Nest Thermostat E devices are heatlink. How would we know if this will work or not? Is there anything I can do to check before purchasing the code?

@Royski will tell you. It's working at his location with the heat link.

Sadly guys I cannot say, I have the Nest 3rd Gen which supports hot water, and is just for the UK market (as far as I'm aware).

The Thermostat E isn't just for the UK/EU @yracine66, doesn't anyone in the US use it with your app and drivers?

Yes, the thermostat E is supported, but I'm talking about the thermostat E with the heat link (UK version) which doesn't exist in North America.

Regards

It's strange why it would be any different. It obviously appears in the web UI just like any other thermostat on nest.
All UK Nest thermostats use a form of heatlink too.
