--- name: google-home description: Control Google Nest devices (thermostats, cameras, doorbells) via the Google Smart Device Management API using curl and jq. metadata: {"clawdbot":{"emoji":"🏠","requires":{"bins":["curl","jq"]}} --- # Google Home / Nest CLI Control Google Nest devices via the Smart Device Management (SDM) API using curl + jq. ## Setup (Required) 1. **Create a Google Cloud Project** - Go to https://console.cloud.google.com - Create a new project 2. **Enable the SDM API** - APIs & Services → Library - Search "Smart Device Management" - Enable it 3. **Create OAuth Credentials** - APIs & Services → Credentials - Create OAuth 2.0 Client ID - Download the JSON file - Extract `client_id` and `client_secret` 4. **Register Your Devices** - Visit https://nests.google.com/frame/register-user - Accept the terms 5. **Get Access Token** ```bash # Replace with your values curl -s \ -d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \ -d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" \ -d "refresh_token=YOUR_REFRESH_TOKEN" \ -d "grant_type=refresh_token" \ https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token ``` ## Quick Start ```bash # List devices google-home-cli devices # Get thermostat info google-home-cli thermostat "Living Room" --info # Set temperature (heat/cool/auto) google-home-cli thermostat "Living Room" --temp 72 # Query camera google-home-cli camera "Front Door" --status ``` ## Device Commands ### Thermostats - `google-home-cli thermostat <name>` — show current temp/humidity - `--temp <degrees>` — set target temperature - `--mode heat|cool|auto` — set HVAC mode - `--fan on|auto` — control fan ### Cameras & Doorbells - `google-home-cli camera <name>` — get stream/status - `--snapshot` — download current image - `--stream` — start live stream URL ### Speakers & Displays - `google-home-cli speaker <name>` — device info - `--volume 0-100` — set volume - `--stop` — stop playback ## Environment Variables ```bash export GOOGLE_HOME_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id" export GOOGLE_HOME_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret" export GOOGLE_HOME_ACCESS_TOKEN="your-access-token" ``` ## Alternative: Direct API Calls ```bash # List all devices curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \ "https://smartdevicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/enterprises/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/devices" # Get device traits curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $ACCESS_TOKEN" \ "https://smartdevicemanagement.googleapis.com/v1/enterprises/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/devices/YOUR_DEVICE_ID" ``` ## Helper Script A `nest` CLI helper is included at `scripts/nest`: ```bash # Make it available globally ln -sf /Users/mitchellbernstein/clawd/skills/google-home/scripts/nest /usr/local/bin/nest # List devices nest list # Get thermostat status nest status "enterprises/PROJECT_ID/devices/DEVICE_ID" # Set temperature (Celsius) nest temp "enterprises/PROJECT_ID/devices/DEVICE_ID" 22 # Set mode nest mode "enterprises/PROJECT_ID/devices/DEVICE_ID" HEAT ``` ## Configuration Create `~/.config/google-home/config.json`: ```json { "project_id": "your-google-cloud-project-id", "access_token": "your-oauth-access-token" } ``` ## Notes - Tokens expire; refresh them periodically - Device names use full path: `enterprises/PROJECT_ID/devices/DEVICE_ID` - Temperature is in Celsius (convert from Fahrenheit if needed) - Camera streams require additional permissions
