Nest Device Access

Control Nest devices via Google's Smart Device Management API.

1. Google Cloud & Device Access

Create a Google Cloud project at console.cloud.google.com Pay the $5 fee and create a Device Access project at console.nest.google.com/device-access Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Web application type) Add https://www.google.com as an authorized redirect URI Link your Nest account to the Device Access project

2. Get Refresh Token

Run the OAuth flow to get a refresh token: # 1. Open this URL in browser (replace CLIENT_ID and PROJECT_ID): https://nestservices.google.com/partnerconnections/PROJECT_ID/auth?redirect_uri=https://www.google.com&access_type=offline&prompt=consent&client_id=CLIENT_ID&response_type=code&scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/sdm.service # 2. Authorize and copy the 'code' parameter from the redirect URL # 3. Exchange code for tokens: curl -X POST https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token \ -d "client_id=CLIENT_ID" \ -d "client_secret=CLIENT_SECRET" \ -d "code=AUTH_CODE" \ -d "grant_type=authorization_code" \ -d "redirect_uri=https://www.google.com"

3. Store Credentials

Store in 1Password or environment variables: 1Password (recommended): Create an item with fields: project_id, client_id, client_secret, refresh_token Environment variables: export NEST_PROJECT_ID="your-project-id" export NEST_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id" export NEST_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret" export NEST_REFRESH_TOKEN="your-refresh-token"

List devices

python3 scripts/nest.py list

Thermostat

# Get status python3 scripts/nest.py get <device_id> # Set temperature (Celsius) python3 scripts/nest.py set-temp <device_id> 21 --unit c --type heat # Set temperature (Fahrenheit) python3 scripts/nest.py set-temp <device_id> 70 --unit f --type heat # Change mode (HEAT, COOL, HEATCOOL, OFF) python3 scripts/nest.py set-mode <device_id> HEAT # Eco mode python3 scripts/nest.py set-eco <device_id> MANUAL_ECO

Cameras

# Generate live stream URL (RTSP, valid ~5 min) python3 scripts/nest.py stream <device_id>

Python API

from nest import NestClient client = NestClient() # List devices devices = client.list_devices() # Thermostat control client.set_heat_temperature(device_id, 21.0) # Celsius client.set_thermostat_mode(device_id, 'HEAT') client.set_eco_mode(device_id, 'MANUAL_ECO') # Camera stream result = client.generate_stream(device_id) rtsp_url = result['results']['streamUrls']['rtspUrl']

Configuration

The script checks for credentials in this order: 1Password: Set NEST_OP_VAULT and NEST_OP_ITEM (or use defaults: vault "Alfred", item "Nest Device Access API") Environment variables: NEST_PROJECT_ID, NEST_CLIENT_ID, NEST_CLIENT_SECRET, NEST_REFRESH_TOKEN

Real-Time Events (Doorbell, Motion, etc.)

For instant alerts when someone rings the doorbell or motion is detected, you need to set up Google Cloud Pub/Sub with a webhook.

Prerequisites

Google Cloud CLI (gcloud) installed and authenticated Cloudflare account (free tier works) for the tunnel Clawdbot hooks enabled in config

1. Enable Clawdbot Hooks

Add to your clawdbot.json: { "hooks": { "enabled": true, "token": "your-secret-token-here" } } Generate a token: openssl rand -hex 24

2. Create Pub/Sub Topic

gcloud config set project YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID # Create topic gcloud pubsub topics create nest-events # Grant SDM permission to publish (both the service account and publisher group) gcloud pubsub topics add-iam-policy-binding nest-events \ --member="serviceAccount:sdm-prod@sdm-prod.iam.gserviceaccount.com" \ --role="roles/pubsub.publisher" gcloud pubsub topics add-iam-policy-binding nest-events \ --member="group:sdm-publisher@googlegroups.com" \ --role="roles/pubsub.publisher"

3. Link Topic to Device Access

Go to console.nest.google.com/device-access → Your Project → Edit → Set Pub/Sub topic to: projects/YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID/topics/nest-events

4. Set Up Cloudflare Tunnel

# Install cloudflared curl -L -o ~/.local/bin/cloudflared https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/releases/latest/download/cloudflared-linux-amd64 chmod +x ~/.local/bin/cloudflared # Authenticate (opens browser) ~/.local/bin/cloudflared tunnel login # Create named tunnel ~/.local/bin/cloudflared tunnel create nest-webhook # Note the Tunnel ID (UUID) from output Create ~/.cloudflared/config.yml: tunnel: nest-webhook credentials-file: /home/YOUR_USER/.cloudflared/TUNNEL_ID.json ingress: - hostname: nest.yourdomain.com service: http://localhost:8420 - service: http_status:404 Create DNS route: ~/.local/bin/cloudflared tunnel route dns nest-webhook nest.yourdomain.com

5. Create Systemd Services

Webhook server (/etc/systemd/system/nest-webhook.service): [Unit] Description=Nest Pub/Sub Webhook Server After=network.target [Service] Type=simple User=YOUR_USER Environment=CLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_URL=http://localhost:18789 Environment=CLAWDBOT_HOOKS_TOKEN=your-hooks-token-here ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /path/to/skills/nest-devices/scripts/nest-webhook.py Restart=always RestartSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Cloudflare tunnel (/etc/systemd/system/cloudflared-nest.service): [Unit] Description=Cloudflare Tunnel for Nest Webhook After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=simple User=YOUR_USER ExecStart=/home/YOUR_USER/.local/bin/cloudflared tunnel run nest-webhook Restart=always RestartSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target Enable and start: sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable --now nest-webhook cloudflared-nest

6. Create Pub/Sub Push Subscription

gcloud pubsub subscriptions create nest-events-sub \ --topic=nest-events \ --push-endpoint="https://nest.yourdomain.com/nest/events" \ --ack-deadline=30

7. Test

# Test webhook endpoint curl https://nest.yourdomain.com/health # Simulate doorbell event curl -X POST http://localhost:8420/nest/events \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"message":{"data":"eyJyZXNvdXJjZVVwZGF0ZSI6eyJuYW1lIjoiZW50ZXJwcmlzZXMvdGVzdC9kZXZpY2VzL0RPT1JCRUxMLTAxIiwiZXZlbnRzIjp7InNkbS5kZXZpY2VzLmV2ZW50cy5Eb29yYmVsbENoaW1lLkNoaW1lIjp7ImV2ZW50SWQiOiJ0ZXN0In19fX0="}}'

Supported Events

EventBehaviourDoorbellChime.Chime🔔 Alerts — sends photo to TelegramCameraPerson.Person🚶 Alerts — sends photo to TelegramCameraMotion.Motion📹 Logged only (no alert)CameraSound.Sound🔊 Logged only (no alert)CameraClipPreview.ClipPreview🎬 Logged only (no alert) Staleness filter: Events older than 5 minutes are logged but never alerted. This prevents notification floods if queued Pub/Sub messages are delivered late.

Image Capture

When a doorbell or person event triggers an alert: Primary: SDM GenerateImage API — fast, event-specific snapshot Fallback: RTSP live stream frame capture via ffmpeg (requires ffmpeg installed)

Environment Variables

VariableRequiredDescriptionCLAWDBOT_GATEWAY_URLNoGateway URL (default: http://localhost:18789)CLAWDBOT_HOOKS_TOKENYesGateway hooks token for awareness notificationsOP_SVC_ACCT_TOKENYes1Password service account token for Nest API credentialsTELEGRAM_BOT_TOKENYesTelegram bot token for sending alertsTELEGRAM_CHAT_IDYesTelegram chat ID to receive alertsPORTNoWebhook server port (default: 8420)

Important Setup Notes

Verify the full Pub/Sub topic path in Device Access Console matches your GCP project exactly: projects/YOUR_GCP_PROJECT_ID/topics/nest-events Use a push subscription, not pull — the webhook expects HTTP POST delivery Test end-to-end after setup: ring the doorbell and confirm a photo arrives. Don't rely on simulated POST requests alone.

Limitations

Camera event images expire after ~5 minutes (RTSP fallback captures current frame instead) Real-time events require Pub/Sub setup (see above) Quick tunnels (without Cloudflare account) have no uptime guarantee Some older Nest devices may not support all features Motion and sound events are intentionally not alerted to avoid notification fatigue

Code helpers, APIs, CLIs, browser automation, testing, and developer operations.
