Use with Nest Temperature Sensor?
Answered
Good afternoon,
I know that Nest recently released remote sensors for rooms. I understand that I would need a minimum of one puck with the smart vents, but would the sensors be adequate for feeding room information to the smart vents?
I ask as the nest options seem to be priced a bit lower and suspect they would integrate seamlessly with the app.
Thanks!

Thanks for your question! We are planning on building support for the Nest Temperature Sensors (much like we have with the ecobee Remote Sensors). However, we cannot do so until Nest releases developer API support for these new Temperature Sensors.
We have talked with Nest about this and they have informed us it's on their roadmap. However, if you would like to speed up this process, we recommend that you contact Nest customer support to let them know that you would like them to speed up the API roadmap for Nest Temperature Sensors so you can see an integration between the Nest Temperature Sensors and Flair Smart Vents.
We hope to get this integration up and running soon!

Hello, I'm wondering if there has been any update on API capability with the Nest sensors? I have multiple nest temperature sensors throughout the house already. I'm holding off purchasing a smart vent system until I can have one that fully integrates with my Nest systems. Thank you!

Hi there.
Nest still has not released API functionality for the Nest sensors. We still recommend that you contact Nest customer support to let them know that you would like them to speed up the API roadmap for Nest Temperature Sensors so you can see an integration between the Nest Temperature Sensors and Flair Smart Vents.
You can also leave a message on their official message board here: https://nestdevelopers.io/t/temperature-sensor-api/1317/36

Unfortunately, Nest has yet to make their Nest Sensors available in their developer API. Until they do, we will be unable to build an integration with these Sensors—we can't even start doing a development or beta process until they release the Sensor developer API.
We still recommend that users leave a message with Nest either via their customer support or on their official message board (https://nestdevelopers.io/t/temperature-sensor-api/1317/36)

Hi Gavriel,
As of August, 2019, Google has stopped new integrations with Nest. See:
https://support.flair.co/hc/en-us/articles/360032817912-Flair-and-Google-Nest
No new information is available on when, or if, they will create an API for allowing 3rd party products, like Flair, to access their remote sensors.
All the best,
Finn
