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 "Eco" mode when a booking ends (at checkout time)
Set the thermostat's temperature and mode for the upcoming stays, and customize how early the adjustments should take place before guests arrive
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.
All integrations can be linked via the Minut web app.
Nest's mission is to create a home that takes care of the people who live in it and the world around it. Minut connects to Google Nest for a seamless home experience on all your devices, allowing you to manage your Nest thermostats from any room in the house.

Connect Minut with Google Nest
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
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 Rental Units
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).
Step 4: Add your Stays
Be sure to add your bookings, either by entering them manually or by integrating Minut with Airbnb or your property management system (PMS).
Don't forget to set the “Thermostat mode” for each rental unit to specify which mode it should be set to before the next check-in.
Step 5: Save Energy
Your Nest thermostat mode will be switched to “Eco” when the stay ends and set to “Heat” mode (20°C/68°F) 3 hours before the next stay starts as default.
You can edit the mode, temperature and time in Minut. You can also set up "Eco" mode temperatures in your Google Nest app.
