Nest thermostat: use more of its variables in flows

JonJon Member
edited April 2016 in Archive
Currently, you can only use the 'Away' status of a Nest Thermostat to trigger a flow.
Why isn't it possible to use other variables, such as the measured (or even the set) temparature?

    You mean like this: 

    ?

    No, @Qx5 more like that you can use other variables that Nest has (such as temperature or perhaps luminosity (don't know if Nest senses that?)) in the 'IF' column of a Flow. So you can use it as a trigger.

    If I understood correctly the use of tokens in all flows is planned for the improved flow manager. In the meantime you could create a workaround i.e. using better logic to store the temperature values on change. Then you can do stuff with those variables. Luminosity is not an output of the nest unfortunately. Neither can you get the proximity sensor data due to api limitations.
