How to Install
$ npm install cylon cylon-nest
How to Use
var Cylon = ; Cylonstart;
We currently have drivers for the following Nest devices:
- Thermostat
- Protect
- Nest Home
How to Connect
First, you need to create a developer account with Nest Labs.
Once you've created an account, you need to create a client app. The Developer Portal UI will guide you through it. You don't need an OAuth redirect URL, since we're going to be using the generated PIN to get an access token.
Next step is to obtain the access token for your Nest account in order to authenticate, as instructed here.
Once you have done this, you should be able to use the access_token
you obtained, with the generate access token url listed in the clients section of the Nest developer portal, to make API calls from Cylon.js
Nest Home Simulator
You can use Nest Home Simulator to test your programs. Follow instructions for installation here.
Once you have the simulator installed, you can create the structures you need and add as many devices as each structure supports.
You can now use your cylon program to interact with your simulated devices.
