homebridge-nest VS Home Assistant

Sounds like you’re more looking for the best homebridge plugin - https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest

I am using https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest to get my Nest Protects into HomeKit, don’t have other Google products in my home.

What plugin are you using? I can report that I was able to use https://github.com/potmat/homebridge-google-nest-sdm instead of https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest because I think google is deprecating the nest stuff in favor of google home.

Looks like there's at least a homebridge plugin for Nest https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest

How do I get the required information to set up Homebridge Nest with the newly migrated Google account with the new Nest?

I don’t have a video but I was able to follow the instructions for Google Account option 1 here: https://github.com/chrisjshull/homebridge-nest

Apparently the same issue has been reported with Philips TV [1] and Fritz!Box [2] as well.

The plug would transmit power readings to my Home Assistant setup.

Home Assistant can cast dashboard/media/etc to your display and has shopping lists. https://www.home-assistant.io/

If you provided MQTT support like plenty of IoT companies do, then any open source home automation tool can integrate! Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/) have a grading system, so a local-first implementation would give you their highest score since they also really care about privacy. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/12/classifying-th...

It's hard not to raise a little smile at Google's automation scripts, which bare a not-entirely-passing resemblance to those of a certain other, more comprehensive home automation system...
