Google Nest

[Wibbly]

Anyone used AM to control their Google Nest? If so, what did you do/can you share some flows?

I use a combination of IFTTT and Automatic to control my Nest thermostat and my Wemo light switches. On the IFTTT side, do the following:

1) Install IFTTT on your phone
2) Connect IFTTT to your Nest account
3) Create a Webhooks account - This will give you a custom key that you will need to use in Automagic
4) Create an Applet where:
- "this" is a Webhooks "Receive a web request" trigger with a meaningful event name (e.g. set_thermostat) - you will need to use this key in your Automagic flow
- "that" is a Nest Thermostat "Set Temperature" action; select your device from the dropdown and set the temperature to "Value1" using the "Add Ingredient" button (Value1 will be passed from Automagic)

On the Automagic side, I've created a quick flow which will prompt you for the target temperature and then send the value to IFTTT to change your Nest Thermostat's temperature.

You can download my flow from http://automagic4android.com/flow.php?i ... 75357319d6

You will need to edit the first action in the flow to set-up your key (makerKey) and trigger (makerTrigger) with the values from IFTTT.

Let me know if you have any questions.

This restricts me to the triggers and actions available between IFTTT and Nest, right? The Nest API seems much more flexible, as would intents into the Next app on the phone. For example... Setting Home/Away status, setting at ETA (this one seems to be in the API)...

Yes, this would only work if IFTTT supports the command you are trying to send.
