The `nest` binary sensor platform lets you monitor various states of your [Nest](https://nest.com) devices.
<p class='note'>
You must have the [Nest component](/components/nest/) configured to use these sensors. The `nest` binary sensor will automatically be setup when you do.
</p>
To customize which binary sensors are enabled, you can add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
binary_sensor:
- platform: nest
monitored_conditions:
- 'fan'
- 'is_using_emergency_heat'
```
If you leave `monitored_conditions` blank, all sensors that are available for your devices will be used.
Configuration variables:
- **monitored_conditions** array (*Optional*): States to monitor.
- online
- fan
- is\_using\_emergency\_heat
- is\_locked
- has\_leaf
- motion\_detected
- person\_detected
- sound\_detected
The following conditions are available by device:
- Nest Thermostat:
- online
- fan
- is\_using\_emergency\_heat
- is\_locked
- has\_leaf
- Nest Protect:
- online
- Nest Camera:
