The main functionality is handled by the Thermostat class. On creation it creates a service object using the Google Python API Client. That's used later to help build and execute API requests. At app exit the service object is closed.

For simplicity I started off with Postman to test API calls. First I setup some variables at the collection level to reduce later repetition and hardcoding.
