Insteon - Nest thermostat cannot be controlled via Insteon provider #176

When a Nest account is hooked up to Insteon, the devices show up in the Insteon app, but are not picked up by our translators. The device comes back from the insteon API with a device category and subcategory of 0 and 0 respectively, rather than a devCat of 5 for a climate device.

Additionally, even if I force the hub translator to accept the next device, the translator is unable to control it.

I have suspicions that the Insteon app controls the Nest thermostat via the Nest API directly. When requesting the raw data from Insteon, it includes a valid access key for NEST that could be used to create a Nest thermostat translator directly.
