NAME

Device::Nest - Methods for wrapping the Nest API calls so that they are accessible via Perl

VERSION

Version 0.09

SYNOPSIS

 This module provides a Perl interface to a Nest Thermostat via the following 
 methods:
   - new
   - connect
   - fetch_Ambient_Temperature
   - fetch_Designation

 In order to use this module, you will require a Nest thermostat installed in 
 your home as well.  You will also need your ClientID and ClientSecret provided
 by Nest when you register as a developper at https://developer.nest.com.  
 You will aos need an access code which can be obtained at 
 https://home.nest.com/login/oauth2?client_id=CLIENT_ID&state=FOO
 Your authorization code will be obtained and stored in this module when you
 call it.

 The module is written entirely in Perl and has been developped on Raspbian Linux.

SAMPLE CODE

    use Device::Nest;

    $my_Nest = Device::Nest->new($ClientID,$ClientSecret,$code,$phrase,$debug);

    $my_Nest->connect();
  
    undef $my_Nest;


 You need to get an authorization code by going to https://home.nest.com/login/oauth2?client_id=CLIENT_ID&state=FOO
 and specifying your client ID in the URL along with a random string for state
 
 Use this code, along with your ClientID and ClientSecret to get an authorization code
 by using the 'connect' function below.  
 
 From now on, all you need is your auth_token
 

EXPORT

 All by default.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

new - the constructor for a Nest object

 Creates a new instance which will be able to fetch data from a unique Nest 
 sensor.

 my $Nest = Device::Nest->new($ClientID, $ClientSecret, $phrase, $debug);

   This method accepts the following parameters:
     - $ClientID     : Client ID for the account - Required

fetch_Auth_Token - generates and displays the auth_token

 This function will display the authenticaton token for the PIN code
