The `nest` sensor platform let you monitor sensors connected to your [Nest](https://nest.com) thermostat and/or your Nest Protect Smoke Alarm.

<p class='note'>
You must have the [Nest component](/components/nest/) configured to use those sensors.

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

```yaml

  monitored_conditions:
    - 'temperature'
    - 'target'
    - 'humidity'
    - 'operation_mode'
    - 'last_connection'
    - 'co_status' # Nest Protect only
    - 'smoke_status' # Nest Protect only
```

Configuration variables:
