Thermostats offer Home Assistant a peek into the current and target temperature in a house. Some thermostats will also offer an away mode that will lower use of heating/cooling. The only supported thermostat right now is the Nest thermostat.
To set it up, add the following information to your `home-assistant.conf` file:
```
[thermostat]
platform=nest
username=myemail@mydomain.com
password=mypassword
```
