kylegrieder / nest-remote-sensor

NodeJS app to expose an endpoint for Nest Remote Temperature Sensors

Nest Remote Sensor API

This app gets the temperature of the remote sensor. It's a super hacky work around until Nest releases their official API for this. It might stop working at any time.

This app is built for a PAAS host like Heroku. You can run this locally by using node index.js

Getting started

First you need to get the UDID of the remote sensor. You can do this by running node index.js and visiting localhost:5000/get-udid. This will log a JSON response of the remote sensors. Grab the UDID and request to temperature by visiting localhost:5000/get-temp/UDID

Use with homebridge

Use the homebridge-http-temp module to get the data from this node app.

Here is the config I used (replace 11A111AAA11A1111 with your UDID):

"accessories": [
    {
        "accessory": "HttpTemperature",
        "name": "Another Room's Name",
        "url": "http://192.168.1.210/get-temp/11A111AAA11A1111",
        "http_method": "GET",
        "field_name": "temperature",
        "update_interval": "600000ms",
		"manufacturer": "Nest",
		"model": "Remote Sensor",
		"units": "F"
    }
]

Replace the URL with the hostname or IP this node app.
