The integration between Minut and Google Nest will allow you to sync your Minut properties with Nest thermostats to save energy by automatically turning the thermostat off in between bookings.
Turn the Google Nest thermostat to OFF mode when a booking ends (at checkout time)
Turn the Nest thermostat back to HEAT, COOL, or HEAT/COOL mode 3 hours before the next booking starts (i.e. ahead of new check-in times)
The integration between Minut and Google Nest works with the Nest Thermostat, Nest Thermostat E, and Nest Learning Thermostat.
The OFF mode only heats or cools your rental unit when safety temperatures are reached. Here’s how to configure them.
All integrations can be linked via the Minut web app.
Step 1: Installing
For this integration to work, you first need to set up an account with Google Home, and install the Google Nest Thermostat in your properties. Find the instructions here
Currently, the function of the integration is to turn off the heating in vacant properties to save energy. Before a new stay arrives, the thermostat will be turned back to your chosen mode (HEAT, COOL or HEAT/COOL).
Step 2: Connect Minut with Google Nest
After you've set up your devices head over to the Minut web app -> Integrations. Find Google Nest and click “Connect”.
You'll be asked to sign in with your Google account and approve that Minut can access your Google Nest devices.
Make sure you give permissions for:
Seeing information about your Google home
Accessing and controlling all the thermostats that you have in the rental unit.
Currently, Google only allows to connect one Google account to a Minut account.
Step 3: Link your properties
Link your Minut properties with your Google structures (properties). This will ensure that the correct thermostats are controlled.
For each linked rental unit you will see:
How many thermostat devices it will control
The status of them (if any of the thermostats becomes inactive, or no devices are installed at all, it will be displayed here).
Remember to :
To configure the “Thermostat mode” for each rental unit to specify which mode it should be turned on to before the next check-in.
Once all your rental units are linked, you're all set! When a check out happens, your thermostats will automatically shut off.
