User reviews

Nothing happened for awhile. I had to refresh the page many times. Eventually it showed up. It still doesn't work in the Nest-cam homebridge.io plugin though. Even with a pristine copy and paste, I get : Google authentication was unsuccessful. Make sure you did not log out of your Google account after getting your googleAuth parameters. [Nest-cam] Access token acquisition via googleAuth failed (code undefined). [Nest-cam] Unable to retrieve access token. I remember back in the day all of this stuff worked great. Not sure why Google had to go and break it.

It just works. You don't have to open the extension or anything prior to logging in to the nest page. It will simply show up. Thanks!
