The Nest sensor platform let you monitor sensors connected to your [Nest](https://nest.com) thermostat.

To set it up, add the following information to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
sensor:
  platform: nest
  monitored_conditions:
    - 'temperature',
    - 'target',
    - 'away_temperature[0]',
    - 'away_temperature[1]'
    - 'humidity',
    - 'mode',
    - 'last_ip',
    - 'local_ip',
    - 'last_connection',
    - 'battery_level'
```

Configuration variables:

- **monitored_conditions** array (*Required*): States to monitor.

<p class='note'>You must have the [Nest component](https://home-assistant.io/components/nest/) configured to use this sensor.</p>
