badnest

A bad Nest integration that uses the web api to work after Works with Nest was shut down (bad Google, go sit in your corner and think about what you did)

This repo is based off of the original from RedDragon with fixes provided by the community since that repo has gone stale.

Why is it bad

This isn't an advertised or public API, it's still better than web scraping, but will never be as reliable as the original API

Features

  • Doesn't use the now defunct Works with Nest API
  • Works with migrated/new accounts via Google auth
  • Nest Protect support
  • Nest Thermostat support
  • Nest Thermostat Sensor support
  • Nest Camera support

Drawbacks

Configuration

The camera's region is one of us or eu depending on your region. If you're not in the US or EU, you should be able to add your two-character country code, and it should work.

Example configuration.yaml - When you are using the Nest Auth Login

badnest:
  user_id: 123456
  access_token: "b.123456....."
  region: us

climate:
  - platform: badnest
    scan_interval: 10

camera:
  - platform: badnest

sensor:
  - platform: badnest

To get access token, please follow instruction from https://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=My_NextServiceMgr#Issue_.2314:_My_Next_devices_are_not_updating_or_my_auth_tokens_are_lost

Example configuration.yaml - When you are using the Google Auth Login

badnest:
  issue_token: "https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/iframerpc....."
  cookie: "OCAK=......"
  region: us

climate:
  - platform: badnest
    scan_interval: 10

camera:
  - platform: badnest

sensor:
  - platform: badnest

Google Login support added with many thanks to: chrisjshull from https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest/

The values of "issue_token" and "cookie" are specific to your Google Account. To get them, follow these steps (only needs to be done once, as long as you stay logged into your Google Account).

  1. Open a Chrome browser tab in Incognito Mode (or clear your cache).
  2. Open Developer Tools (View/Developer/Developer Tools).
  3. Click on 'Network' tab. Make sure 'Preserve Log' is checked.
  4. In the 'Filter' box, enter issueToken
  5. Go to home.nest.com, and click 'Sign in with Google'. Log into your account.
  6. One network call (beginning with iframerpc) will appear in the Dev Tools window. Click on it.
  7. In the Headers tab, under General, copy the entire Request URL (beginning with https://accounts.google.com, ending with nest.com). This is your "issue_token" in configuration.yaml.
  8. In the 'Filter' box, enter oauth2/iframe
  9. Several network calls will appear in the Dev Tools window. Click on the last iframe call.
  10. In the Headers tab, under Request Headers, copy the entire cookie ( include the whole string which is several lines long and has many field/value pairs - do not include the cookie: name). This is your "cookie" in configuration.yaml.

Notes

The target temperature reported by the integration sometimes seems to be slightly off by a few tens of a degree. This is caused by the fact that the Nest mobile app actually actually allows users to set the temperature in small increments, but the displayed temperature is rounded to the nearest 0.5 degree. In other words, the temperature displayed by the integration is correct, just more exact than what is shown in the app.
