Add nest to Openhab2

[kirps1 (kirpan singh)]

Hi Guys,

apologies for any silly questions as I am a complete beginner.

I have 3 nest thermostats. 1 called loft, 1 called upstairs and 1 called downstairs. I have installed the nest binding 1.10.0 however I cannot find any nest products in my inbox. I have followed the instructions to open a developers account however I have no idea what to enter in the permissions thermostat tab. I cant link my thermostats to openhab2.

Please, please help.

however I cannot find any nest products in my inbox.

Autodiscovery (devices showing up in the inbox) works for 2.x bindings, but not for 1.x bindings. You will have to do the configuration via text files.
A full example can be found here:

Nest Binding Example

Bindings wiki is here:

Binding configuration goes into a nest.cfg file:

openhab/openhab1-addons

Items definition go into an items file:

Sitemap definitions go into a sitemaps file:
