Google Nest SDM

@Martin_Verbeek
The homey community Space app is still not installing with the dekstop installer. I can install it by using CLI , but it is crashing.

Is there another way to install your nest sdm app to my homey?
i really would like to add my nest protects to homey.

Hope you can help!

Regards,

Tom

Hi Tom, not sure how, but will look into it.

You think your app is really not ready for Athom store ? I don’t believe it :wink:, you are great developer and already published successfully several app. But, if there is other reason, I can understand. :upside_down_face:

Explained it before i think. It is not the easiest app in the universe to set up and it cannot be made simpler. Tried many times.

I just will not have enough time to support it when it is on the athom store.

Yes, you did indeed but HCS situation still sucks and it’s a pity you spent time on something which now minimal users can use. There is another similar app with similar level of complexity for setting up - Google Services, but that’s why you can also select no support and link to forum, so that community would help or simply no support at all. We currently have no option to install it basically for several months and I don’t think it will change.

Will try. I had some objections from Athom when releasing the Tado app but they still allowed in the end.

Right now i spend time on the Homekit controller but that is near stable.

After that i will give SDM a try and see what happens

Thank you @Martin_Verbeek for spending so much time developing and supporting this app. I have a Nest Cam Indoor/Outdoor that monitors my front porch. To avoid unwanted notifications, I have tried to make a flow thats disables the cam when I am at home and my Yale at the front door is unlocked. The flow looks something like this (simplified):

“When Door is Unlocked then Set motion events to disabled and create a timeline notification”

I get the timeline notification but the camera still keeps on detecting motions.
Am I doing anything wrong or is it not possible to achieve this through the Gooogle Nest SDM app?
Thanks!

You can prevent the motion events going to trigger anything within Homey, you cannot use the app to set configuration option in Google Home devices. So events still will reach the SDM app, but they are ignored when you disable motion or sound

OK, I understand. Thank you for your swift reply @Martin_Verbeek

The discord channel is also dead. No updates, nobody is talking there nothing. I also still want this app, but as the community space app just not working I can’t use it.

Issue also now is, that i don’t have the trust that the community space app will ever be stable and maybe better to say active. As one user need to fix it, but you see and hear nothing, so you really get the feeling that it is dead.

Same problem for me, the HCS app is crashing, and no updates from HCS community on it for now.
I hope we can install this app with another method? I really want the Nest SDM app :frowning:

I there any update about hvac on/off trigger by flows?
There is no when or and flow card for the heating on or off status, however there is visible on device card on hvac

is this app still availible, the community store seams to be empty

Unfortunately the Community store was kind of scam on all of us, there were some promises given but not fulfilled. Anyway, for Google Nest SDM, here only @Martin_Verbeek could help, eg. publishing it to Athom store or allowing us to do CLI install.

I’m stuck on this too!

Are you using the nest protects or also the other devices?

For me (personally) it’s just about Nest Protect
 it’s quite important device to get ignored in case of alarm :wink:

Hi @Sharkys, hi @Borssie

I have my 3 nest protects intergrated in Homey.

Thanks to @Herazio
