Command Line Tool

Set up

The python-nest command-line tool, nest can be executed and set up to talk to the Nest™ API:

1. Using the arguments --client-id and --client-secret (including your credentials from your Nest™ Developer Account.
2. Using a properly formatted configuration file.

Once you have generated a token_cache file (this is created automatically with either method), you can remove the config file or cease using the --client-id and --client-secret arguments.

Configuration File

The configuration file is relatively straight forward, it should be formatted as follows.

[nest]
client_id = 99999999-9999-9999-9999-999999999999
client_secret = suchGoodSecretIsGood
