So long story short, Google Nest thermostat just disconnects from HA every once in a while. It used to be when I did a reboot I’d get a notification in HA telling me an integration needs setting up again, always Nest and Google Calendar.

But now it seems to disconnect and not tell me. I realise when it’s fucking freezing and my heating hasn’t kicked on (I control it with HA rather than Nest because I get better results.)

So what I’ve done is have Node Red reload the integration every 4 hours, because when I manually do this it’ll come up that the integration needs reconfiguring.

So now all I need is to be notified when the integration needs reconfiguring. A Google just brings me up threads on how to send a notification. I can do this already, I just want a notification when I get a notification…

See, the problem is that it’s called “Notifications” in HA.

    If it’s disconnecting every week or so set the Google cloud oauth app you set up to production. If it’s left in testing mode it will de-authenticate every so often

      Huh, you see this is why I posted, I was hoping someone would have an insight into fixing the actual issue.

      Thanks, I’ll look into this
