Nest smoke alarm integration 🔥🚨🧯

jcallaghan commented 3 years ago

Objective

Integrate Nest Protect smoke alarms with Home Assistant.

Goals

[x] Lovelace dashboard
[ ] Turn off boiler if CO reported by Nest Protect near boiler
[ ] Turn off gas supply
[ ] Automation, enable lights, open blinds, pause/stop media-players etc.
[ ] Actionable notifications
[ ] Integration with internal/external sirens
[ ] Monitor batteries and health-checks
[ ] Extended family & friends notification/alert

Notes

I was previously blocked in integrating my Nest Protects. Once Nest became Google Home, we lost the ability to integrate them with Home Assistant. The Nest Protects are not available/supported via Google SDM but I found Mick's Nest Protect integration last week (13-Mar 2022).

Did you check out Bad nest?

I'm able to have mine integrated but I've had my developer account for years. https://github.com/CCOSTAN/Home-AssistantConfig/blob/master/config/packages/nest_protects.yaml

jcallaghan commented 3 years ago

I've not and my Google Developer account was migrated sadly.

Paulus suggested the API might be opening back up again soon (source "Hey Google" smart home summit). https://twitter.com/balloob/status/1280923380313501697

Nest Protect integration

I came across @iMicknl's Nest Protect integration for Home Assistant. This solves my Nest Project integration problem until Google SDM finally gets around to supporting Nest Protects.

I have created a Security & Safety Lovelace dashboard where we have dedicated panels relating to the different aspects of security and safety in our home, this now includes our Smoke Alarms! This panel shows me useful information from each of my Nest Protect units.

Below are examples of two cards I created. Note: I am leveraging Simple Icons for the header icon and multiple-entity-row card. I plan to add a few additional units and have stuck with the last example for now.

Lovelace

Here is the Lovelace card I have settled with for now. I think this will work well with additional Nest Protects.

I also show more information when debug mode is enabled. Debug mode is something I've setup to show me more information or send me additional information in notifications. It's just an input_boolean helper that I toggle on and off as and when needed.
