New NEST Plugin ready for general use

[vtmikel]

Hi Dave,

That definitely should not happen. If you want to send me the logs, I'd be happy to take a look. Did you see a entry in the log that states that the temperature set point was being changed from the plugin? Upon reset, the plugin uses the values from NEST.com as the master, not the stored state from Indigo.

EDIT: to clarify, the plugin and the value on NEST.com should always be in sync. Restarting the plugin should have no effect on the set points since the state was already in sync. At midnight, the plugin "reset the temperature to 72", which I assume was the value that NEST.com had. Perhaps the setting of 75 at 10pm didn't go through?

EDIT 2: You also shouldn't have to restart the plugin. I had this previously as well, when the prior plugin crashed frequently. The new plugin has a health monitor to ensure it's staying connected to NEST.com. If you want to still have a manual check, I would recommend initiating a "Send Status Request" rather than restarting the plugin. This will allow the plugin to self manage the plugin, but will also force a manual check to ensure the states are in sync.

Hi Mike - I just sent you my logs via email. Let me know what you think.

I'll get rid of the reload as you suggested.

First off, I am extremely pleased to have this new Nest plugin available. Thanks a million!

I am running into a problem with 1.1.2, where after some amount of time, the Nest plugin goes to ~100% CPU and stays there.

Any suggestions on what I can do to help track things down? I do see messages like this in the Events log:

[DaveL17]

My Nest plugin appears to be back online. I rebooted my server yesterday to install some updates from Apple and since then, it seems to be running okay. It could be coincidence, it could be the reboot, and it could be one of the Apple updates. Beats me.

Dave

[eullman]

I have an update. My Nest plugin hasn't been stuck at 100% CPU for several days, with one exception: when my Internet connection was down. In that case, the Nest plugin would get hung up during launch and the Indigo client (UI) couldn't complete its connection to the server. Force quitting the Nest plugin and relaunching the client allowed it to connect, but as soon as the Nest plugin loaded again, it would hang up at max CPU.

I don't see anything unusual in the log, though, so I don't really have anything more helpful to share.

Thanks.

[DaveL17]

I see today that Nest has updated it's iPhone app to be compatible with the "Works with Nest" program. Not really sure what that means, but I hope that it means that there is an official API in the near future. There's a couple recent articles in the news about Nest too, but they're not really that far in the weeds.

Dave

[vtmikel]

It is likely that something is causing the CPU run at 100% with my monitoring thread, which kicks in when the connection to NEST drops. I'll look into it, but it's been very stable for me for months now.

[DaveL17]

I just got an email message from Nest that the API is open for business. I don't have time to take a look to see what's involved with it until after work, but this is at least promising!

Mike - maybe there's finally something we can do with Target Humidity...

The documentation seems straightforward. The new proximity control is interesting as well.

Firstly let me appologise if I am asking silly questions. I have researched but I can't seem to find the answers.

I am looking to replace my mains smoke alrams (6) with Nest Protects. I have an indigo server (mac mini) using Z-Wave products (lights and heating).... it works well.

Apart from letting the Nest Protects doing their own thing (smoke alarms), I would like to use the Nest Protects for:
1. speakers - doorbell messages via indigo
2. motion detectors - turn on Zwave via indigo lights
3. temperature - replace Zwave thermostats

Can I do that with this plugin ?

I understand that the plugin works via the internet, does that mean that if my broadband connection is down I can't send or receive data from the Nest Protects ? So my Indigo server will not receive temperature information from the Nest Protects ?

Thank you
Ian

[DaveL17]

HI Ian - not silly questions at all.

Yes, the Nest plugin works via the Internet, so all communication requires active Internet to work. I just spent 39 hours down, and was unable to communicate with my Nest Tstat the entire time (of course, it still worked at the Tstat). This isn't a shortcoming of the plugin--it's just how Nest communicates. I don't know for sure the answers to 1-3, but I'd bet that 1 isn't possible. 2-3 may be possible but I personally wouldn't want to rely on them because of the need to always have active Internet.
