The Google Nest integration adjusts your Nest thermostats automatically around each Stay: it sets the temperature before Check-in and switches to Eco mode at Check-out.
It works with the Nest Thermostat, Nest Thermostat E and Nest Learning Thermostat.
All integrations are connected from the Minut web app.
Before you start
A Minut account
A Google Nest account
Connect Minut with Google Nest
Step 1: Installing
Set up a Google Home account and install the Google Nest Thermostat in your properties.
Step 2: Connect Minut with Google Nest
Once your devices are set up, go to Integrations in the Minut web app.
Find Google Nest and click Connect.
Sign in with your Google account and approve Minut's access to your Google Nest devices.
Make sure you allow Minut to:
View information about your Google home.
Access and control all thermostats in the Rental unit.
Currently, Google only allows one Google account to be connected to a Minut account.
Step 3: Link your Rental units
Link each Minut Rental unit to its Google home, so Minut controls the right thermostats.
For each linked Rental unit, you'll see:
How many thermostats it will control.
Their status, for example if a thermostat is offline or no thermostats are installed.
Step 4: Add your Stays
Add your bookings, either by entering them manually or by connecting Minut to Airbnb or your property management system (PMS).
Don't forget to set the Thermostat mode for each Rental unit, so Minut knows which mode to use before the next Check-in.
Step 5: Save energy
By default, your Nest thermostat switches to Eco mode when a Stay ends, and to Heat mode (20°C/68°F) 3 hours before the next Stay starts.
You can change the mode, temperature and timing in Minut. You can set your Eco temperatures in the Google Nest app.
Off mode only turns on heating or cooling if the safety temperatures are reached. Here's how to set safety temperatures.
Nest cameras and doorbells
Where available, you can also:
Get motion and doorbell events from your Nest cameras and doorbells.
Open a live view of linked Nest cameras and doorbells, for you and your Guests.
