Hello Guillaume, Am I right, only doorbells, cameras and the thermostat is supported? A Google Home Hub is not supported?
Which issues have you ? The token is automatically renew. If it expires, you will have a notification (in the log, mail and messages) in order to regenerate the authentification code.
Hello Guillaume !! thanks for this QA its brilliant. I have some issues with renew the token with google nest do you know how to fix it ?
Hi. Which kinds of error have you? Are the thermostats displaying with the correct temperature setting ? The available modes (heat, cool or both) are automatically detected once the quickapp is connected to Google. There is a web webpage to help one some authentication issues: https://github.com/GuillaumeWaignier/fibaro/tree/master/quickApp/Nest#troubleshooting If you want, you can add an issue on Github and we can check together.
Hi. If your device has a camera (e.g. Nest Hub Max), it is supported. This creates a "motion sensor" in Fibaro. When the hub's camera detects a person, it triggers the motion sensor in Fibaro.
