As many of you know, Nest has stopped using the official NEST API ([https://blog.google/products/google-nest/updates-works-with-nest/](https://blog.google/products/google-nest/updates-works-with-nest/)), but I came across this unofficial NEST API on GitHub: [https://octolinker-demo.now.sh/gboudreau/nest-api](https://octolinker-demo.now.sh/gboudreau/nest-api) Could this be something to make communication with the Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Protect possible again? ---

Here’s another alternative for HomeAssistant, even works for those who have migrated their account from ‘works with nest’ to ‘works with google’: > **[I made a crappy Nest Thermostat integration that will work as a stopgap until...](https://community.home-assistant.io/t/i-made-a-crappy-nest-thermostat-integration-that-will-work-as-a-stopgap-until-alternatives-come-out/139270)** > > Having bought a Nest, and never signing up for the API, I’m stuck in the position I’m sure a ton of people are in right now: no way to access it from Home Assistant.

My Nest won’t allow updates via Homey anymore. I never migrated my Nest account to a Google account, so it should still work, but as of 2 days ago the connection is broken. When I try to logon, I only get a ‘oops, something we’ve encountered an error’. Anyone else seeing these errors? Too bad, this is my 2nd thermostat that is no longer working with Homey. Correction, it does still work with Home Assistant, so it’s a Nest in combination with Homey error? ---

Reading a lot of people who somehow lost their connection in HomeAssistant, they were able to get it back with an old backup, no such luck with Homey. The nest app says there are no devices linked (or something like that) in my account, in my nest account I see 2 homeys (?) connected. I think I’m screwed. New device connections are not allowed anymore with works with Nest. ---

It is all a bit random. Some still have access some don’t (like me). I removed the app from Homey and migrated my account to a Nest account. Point of no return form me… still hope we can have an integration some day.
