Best way to delete Nest Home plugin?

Are there any extra steps to deleting the Nest Home plugin than any other plugin? I am getting some errors and I want to do a clean reinstall of Nest Home.

Thanks!

The best way to remove the plugin is the following for a clean install:

1. Make a copy of your API key (in NEST Home Configuration) - or you can regenerate a new one
2. Disable NEST Home
3. Delete all NEST Home Devices (Account, Protect and Thermostat)
4. Delete the plugin file (/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/Plugins (Disabled)/NEST....)
5. Delete the preferences file ((/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/com.corporatechameleon.nestplugBeta.indiPref) and any other files containing nestplugBeta
6. Download the latest version from the link
7. Install and Paste your API key back into the Configuration dialog.

and that's it - the rest it should do on it's own

I am cleaning up some of the errors on NEST Home tomorrow so it might be worthwhile waiting until then

As always Mike. Thanks for the fast response. I will wait until tomorrow

Hi Mike, were these behind the scenes updates that do not need a new plugin version or will an updated plugin be released?

The updates are mainly cosmetic (naming of triggers) plus trapping when the NEST loses internet connection. There are also a few updates to prepare for the link between iFindStuff and NEST Home later in the week. However, there's nothing that will impact you updating now and adding the updated version later in the week.

I recently had both of my thermostats replaced (warranty issue). I deleted nest home as described below and am starting over with a clean install.

I have the new thermostats installed, nest.com is set up, I installed nest home 3, but I never get a configuration dialog pop-up.

I go to Plugins->nest home 3->configure and I just get the spinning beach ball of death for 10 seconds and nothing happens. Any ideas?

Why have you started with NEST Home 3? That's intended for some users who have three sites for indigo generally because they have over 30 devices.

I'd install NEST Home for a single site.

I'll look at the configuration issue later today on NEST Home 3 tho because it should work fine.

My apologies you were correct. There was a bug in NEST Home 3 (and 2) that could cause issues on reinstallation. I should do better regression testing

I've corrected the bug and tested it on my system and it works fine for all versions of NEST Home.

I recommend that you use the types of NEST Home in order if you're going to install just one installation of NEST. If you exceed 20 NEST items you can install NEST 2 Home and over 40 will require NEST 3 Home. Actually it shouldn't really make any difference.

I suggest that you delete NEST Home 3 (as per the instructions) by deleting any created devices, deleting the NEST Home 3 directory and then install the package from the links above.

Thanks for finding the issue
