Nest Data Logging

#1

Has anyone created a piston to record usage data from the nest into a spreadsheet or other location? I can only see 10 days of history in the Nest app. Would like to keep an ongoing record. Thanks!

You could use the IFTTT integration to populate a google sheet on each change event.

Or, if you just want to see a graph and list of data (without the ability to export) you could just use webCoRE fuel streams.

I.e.

On events from Nest’s setpoint
DO
write {Nest’s Setpoint) to fuel stream {temperature}

Thanks - I’ve got the IFTTT link set up, but need to figure out how to send data to it. I’m looking for runtime info - like how long it was cooling/heating, etc.

I’d suggest just storing the raw event data in your spreadsheet… you can then analyse the data with excel formula and the like later on:

Perhaps something along these lines:

I’d love to do this but not sure what the settings should be in IFTTT - has anyone got more specific instructions? I don’t need to keep anything too in-depth but a better history log of my Nest data would be awesome.
