Looking for support for this as well.
Issue: Nest allows you to add multiple Temp sensors to your system and set schedules for WHEN you want change temperatures. However, NEST only gives you 4 options of which sensor to use during predefined blocks. Time Blocks: Morning (7am-11am), Midday (11am-4pm), Evening (4pm-9pm), Night 9pm-7am). So you can set your schedule to occur at anytime, you can't select the Temp Sensor to use until the corresponding block occurs.
Use Case: I want to set a schedule in Domotics and pick the Temp sensor to base the action on WHEN I want the change in temperature to occur, not when NEST's 4 blocks occur.
Example: In my house I only have a single zone for a 3,500 sqft house. The temperatures in my downstairs and upstairs and various rooms upstairs are different by about 6 degrees normally and up to 10 degrees in summer when south facing side of house heats up significantly. I want to start cooling the upstairs at 7PM and use one of my upstairs Temp sensors. This way its nice and cool come 9pm when we typically go to bed. Unfortunately, given the way NEST implements this, it wont switch to the upstairs temp sensor until 9PM, so we have a very warm bedroom until about 10 or 11 pm.
Request: Need the temp sensors to show up as devices in the Nest Home plugin so I can write schedules and triggers to support the schedule I want.
