+
+The nest thermostat platform let you control a thermostat from [Nest](https://nest.com).
+It also includes the ability to monitor things like the state of our HVAC system and the
+current humidity and temperature.
+
+To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:
+
+```yaml
+sensor 3:
+  platform: nest
+  monitored_conditions:
+    - 'fan'
+    - 'hvac_ac_state',
+    - 'hvac_aux_heater_state',
+    - 'hvac_heat_x2_state',
+    - 'hvac_heat_x3_state',
+    - 'hvac_alt_heat_state',
+    - 'hvac_alt_heat_x2_state',
+    - 'hvac_emer_heat_state',
+    - 'online'
+    - 'temperature',
+    - 'target',
+    - 'away_temperature[0]',
+    - 'away_temperature[1]'
+    - 'humidity',
+    - 'mode',
+    - 'last_ip',
+    - 'local_ip',
+    - 'last_connection',
+    - 'battery_level'
+```
+
+You must have the [Nest Thermostat](https://home-assistant.io/components/thermostat.nest/) entity configured to use this sensor.
