Goose66 Posted August 17 Posted August 17 I have released the first production version (v1.0.6) of the NestSDM plugin utilizing the UD Nest SDM Plugin project setup by Universal Devices so that you don't have to establish your own Google Developer sandbox and setup your own Device Access project and related infrastructure (it was too complicated and finicky). THIS VERSION HAS KNOWN ISSUES, but I wanted to go ahead and get it out there so folks could start playing with it. Among the most significant issues are: 1. There is a serious latency problem. Actions taken in the Admin Console may have a 1 to 3 second delay in being reflected in the state values when using your own Device Access project. With the UD Nest SDM Plugin, that delay is more like 10-25 seconds. I am working on it.... 2. The plugin does not have any internal logic for managing detection state values (motion, person, sound, doorbell) for cameras and doorbells, i.e., it doesn't monitor "Detected" states and return them to "Clear" after some time. For newer devices this is not a problem because the SDM API will send appropriate END messages for the detection events. However, for legacy devices, once "Detected," they will currently remain in this state indefinitely. It's on the list... 3. There is no "heartbeat" or other functionality to ensure the whole pathway (IoX->PG3->Plugin->SDM API->Google Home->GCP Pub/Sub->UD Nest Event Service->Portal->Plugin->Iox) is up so you can't really know if something breaks until you notice you aren't receiving state updates. This is also on the list... What is "final" (knock on wood) is the node hierarchy, and as long as you continue to use the UD Nest SDM Plugin project your user ID and device IDs should remain consistent. Therefore, once you install this version you should be able to install updates without having to uninstall and reinstall the plugin, re-authorize via oAuth, and rediscover your devices again. Hopefully a number of people can take the plunge here and we can work through the issues. 3
auger66 Posted August 17 Posted August 17 I can't try it until I get home in three months, but I definitely will. Thanks for your effort on this.
