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.
