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
|
|
```
