Hi all,

Is Nabu Casa required for Nest Integration in HA?

I didn’t see anything in the documentation up front noting it as a requirement. However, after a failed attempt at adding - along with a configuration requirement for home-assistant.io for authorized domain settings in OAuth Consent, I am having second thoughts.

Thanks!

    Hey I just went through google hell, make sure you are the Nest owner account, the project ID from the cloud page and the project ID from the nest page are whats needed on the last step, and at this part for me it still errored out after the redirect but did integrate nest.

    You also as far as I am aware need external access with HTTPS set up, Porkbun was a breeze and I got myself a 10$/y .dev domain, and for that you will need to be able to open ports on your router. Honestly everything networking was easy compared to getting Google to play nice.

    Also also its easiest if your browser session only has one Google account logged into it, good luck!

      Finally got it working - followed the directions. No ports to open. Thanks for the recommendations.

    Not the original question, but if you have just a normal “Nest Thermostat” (Not learning or E) it has matter support and you can add it over matter without paying $5

      I’ve double-checked settings.

      I can select the Google Nest Integration. I enter my Cloud Project ID and click Submit with no error. I am then prompted for my Device Access Project ID, which I enter and click submit. I am then presented with a screen from Google saying that it can’t link to project. No other information and no error. Nothing in the home assistance core logs. I’ve double checked the settings and I know that Project ID is correct as it returns the project name that I set, “HA Nest Project”.

      Not really sure where to look for issues - any suggestions are appreciated.

        Can you share a screenshot of the error? (Block out any PI of course.) I run into this issue due to my DNS blocking things that Google uses for the integration. I take my cell phone off WiFi, run the integration steps and viola, it connect.

        I don’t believe remote access is required but I pay the subscription cause lazy and want to help fund the project.

          Finally got it to work. I think that on a previous try and failure, my credentials were saved while I had gone back and recover everything over. Cleared out the old credentials, started all over and worked!
