Hi Grzegorz. The new version 1.1.0 adds the following functionalities: round the temperature value to one decimal and display if the thermostat is actively heating. The active status is display below the icon (similar to the state of lights or the state of rolling shutters). It is not possible to configure the icon color. The color depends of the temperature set point.
Hello, Guillaume. I have a Z-Box Hub which is compatible with the HC3 (I think). Have you any experience with this hub? I have gone through the steps you outline and have all my Nest integrations done, I think. When I upload the nest.fqa file everything looks good but the console shows an "app crashed" error message for line 233. Thank you for your patience.
Hello Grzegorz. I will look to round the temperature value to one decimal. Currently, only the thermostat mode is retrieved. I will check if it is possible to get the real state of the thermostat.
Hello Stephan. If you can see the temperature, all is correctly configured. The refresh rate is configured by default with 60s. You can check in the fibaro's console log if connection errors with the Nest API occur. The problem can come from the internet connection of the box or with the Nest API. You have a dashboard at https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/ that displays API errors and latency.
Hi Peter. The line 223 correspond to the creation of the widget of type "com.fibaro.hvacSystemHeat". Perhaps this type does not exist in Z-Box. In the version 1.1.0, I have change the type to "com.fibaro.hvacSystemAuto". Can you try with this new version ? Perhaps this type of widget exists in Z-Box. (I have not this box, so I couldn't help much more)
