• goHACK.me Nest Integration

Method

This application uses an ACKme evaluation boards to demonstrate Nest integration. A button on the evaluation board triggers a Nest thermostat to switch to Heat/Cool mode.

To follow through these steps, you require a Nest account.

Set up the module for goHACK.me solo mode, and activate with your free goHACK.me account.

From your goHACK.me account, authorize goHACKme integration with Nest.

Then set up a trigger on Module 1 Button 1, on change, to switch a Nest thermostat to Heat/Cool mode.

Press Button 1 on the module 1, and the Nest thermostat enters the specified mode.

Procedure

First, set up a free goHACK.me account, download the goHACK.me solo caps file and activate the device with the account. See Getting Started with goHACK.me.
