I'm using this plugin with Tasker on an old Android phone (Nexus 4) and it works very well. It occasionally comes back with an error when it tries to send a set temperature to the Nest, but most of the time it's fine. I leave it unattended so I don't even notice, and I recently added some error correction to work around this.

After installing and logging in, this plugin just spins and hangs when attempting to find your Nest. This fault renders the plugin not fit for purpose. Tested on Nexus4 and Nexus7. Works on Samsung Note4

Great plugin, works for what I need which is to set my home/away based on location (something IFTTT can't do yet?) and take actions based on current temperatures. Thank you!

I70%
by I####:

Nice addition to Tasker. Would be nice to be able to switch the Thermostat from heat to cold or from cold to heat from Tasker. Currently, only the degree and away settings can be selected for change.

X70%

Plugin is returning errors in the Tasker log. It is not working reliably. Tried to email developer and got a "undeliverable" email response.

G70%
by G####:

Was working great for the longest time but today it doesn't work. Could it be that Nest is switching to a new 'Eco' mode?

G70%

Variables don't work so it's rather limited.

Was good. But appears to no longer work. Belive it needs an update

Not working on Android N Nexus 6P with 3rd Generation Nest thermostat.

Does not work

C70%
by C####:

Unfortunately this plugin has become completely unresponsive. I've deoptimized this plugin, the Nest app and Tasker and it still won't respond. If I delete the configuration task and re-add it'll work for a few hours then stop. Emailing dev through store bounces back the email.

U70%
by U####:

Was a pretty good plugin until a couple days ago when my thermostat updated. They must've changed their API for setting the thermostat away because it's broken this plugin.

K70%
by K####:

I love setting it to activate when my morning alarm goes off to start warming my house up. I can confirm it's working with the Eco update. Make sure you open this app and log out/log in with nest.

N70%
by N####:

I'm not sure if it's my upgrade to marshmallow but this plug in rarely works now. Battery management is off for Tasker and my plug-ins. Usually Tasker seems to register in or out of the geofence but Nest doesn't switch home or away as expected consistently.

M70%
by M####:

I can get it to work about 25% of the time. I suspect the issue is more with Nest and not the Tasker plugin, since all the other similar apps that promise control of the Nest away state in the Play store seem to have the same problem (based on reading their reviews). It appears Google is determined to make sure that we cannot accurately set the away state of our Nest thermostats. I wish the promised integration with Google Now worked, but it does not, which prompted me to try this Tasker plugin. I'm off again to search for another solution.

Z70%
by Z####:

I tried sending an email, but it bounced. The plugin no longer seems to work. I logged in, and my thermostat shows up in the list. But when I run a task in tasker that sets the home/away mode, nothing happens. Help please!

Z70%
by Z####:

Worked once, while I was connected to my home WiFi, which kind of defeats the point. Needs some support

I70%
by I####:

Automation requires reliability. This plugin no longer has the latter, and the dev does not care.

Doesn't do anything :(

For some reason this plugin quits working after a couple days on Marshmallow. And to be clear, I've purchases the unlock key so it's not that. You have to reinstall this plugin before it'll work again which I'm not about to do every 3 or 4 days. To make this even more frustrating, the dev's listed email address isn't functional. A+ stuff

Z70%
by Z####:

I keep having to log out and back into nest with this app to regain functionality. Please fix so this app is usable. (Nexus 6 with marshmallow)

Works intermittently, requiring reauthentication every 24 hours or so. Sent developer an email, only to find the domain no longer exists.

Your plugin is great. If you could add more functionality from their API (like turning on the fan) it'd be awesome.

Thanks for the help. Great app for lots of control in tasker.

Apparently this is just a trial version of the plugin. The key isn't expensive and I had no problem buying it but dang, dev, be forthcoming about it. No where on your store page or in the setup page does it say its a 7 day demo. Feels shady af. And to add to the annoyance, I'm now greeted with "extra key not found" errors associated with this plugin every time I launch Tasker. This didn't happen until after I was required to buy a key to keep using this.

S70%
by S####:

I know this is not the proper way to get help, but when I try to contact the developer through the app feedback my email is undeliverable. The email address on my Google play receipt has not been answered. So, here we are. The plugin worked great during the trial period. Shortly after paying for the unlock code I had to uninstall and then reinstall the plugin. Since that time I cannot enter a code and the plugin doesn't work. Please help. If I can get the plugin to work the rating will go up.

Could use some enhancements, like being able to interact with devices, like turn the camera on and off

For any paid app I'd expect everything to work properly

This plug in worked for trial period. After purchasing full version from play store, it no longer works in Tasker, connected to home WiFi, turn thermostat from Away to Home. OnePlus One, Android 5.1.1

Latest updates fixed all issues, back to 5 stars! Some info on variables would be handy, can't find instructions anywhere...

Awesome app with a lot of potential that the Official Nest app is missing. I use Tasker for 90% of my Home Automation and this app will allow for my Nest to be controlled my way. This developer responded to my email within an hour to try and help resolve my problem. Also, you can see he responds to his reviews on here as well. Update... YES, works perfectly after Nest/Google fixed their end.! Again this is a 5 Star Developer. I am really impressed with the support and communication, not to mention with the plugin it's self!

Brilliant app. Stopped working for a few days but support was good and was a problem with nest rather than app.

D70%
by D####:

This Plugin let's me tell my Nest to go in Away/Home based on my location. Works great! Had a little bit of a problem when I first installed it (couldn't find my Nest), but I contacted the developer of this plugin. He acknowledged the problem and ensured me he would fix it. Two days later he e-mailed me to let me know it was fixed and sure enough it works! Thank you so much! I really appreciate you listened to my concerns and addressed the problem. A+ Developer.

The device does not show. What was configured before does not work. I think this happened after the last update on the second of March. I looks like it lost all connectivity with the nest which makes it useless. I have paid for this and is not working.

I'll be switching to ifttt.
