  • Senville (Midea?) Mini Split System Possible Problems/Questions - Southern New Mexico
    However, I've been doing a lot more reading and came across a forum on smartthings.com regarding a Carrier system. One member said he installed a Senville ducted system and what he did to make his ducted system wireless. He got rid of the very basic thermostat that came with the unit for an upgraded programmable thermostat and tied it in with the Wi-Fi kit. Source: over 1 year ago

  • Nest cameras not on nest.com
    Bought some battery powered Nest cameras and got them all set up and installed outside. I can watch videos and download snippets on the Google Home app, but it seems like I can't see anything on nest.com. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I had some Nest Outdoor cameras I added years ago. I got some of the nest battery cameras. How do I view them in computer web browser? My office doesn't let me have mobile device due to security reasons.
    Seems like when hell freezes over... Or when they force us old nest users still using nest app and nest.com to go to them... Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Is the Nest Cam public url safe?
    First, nest.com would recognize this attack and block it long before you could search even a small fraction of the ID space. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Hoobs 4: Account linking not working with NEST and Google Smart Home plug-ins.
    I had seen similar videos and instructions before but I was not copying enough of the access token URL. Make sure you look at the URL in the dev window and work backwards until you reach the first "nest.com" and end the copy there. It should follow a "....domain=https....". Source: over 2 years ago
  • Bind Chrome to GPU1 instead of GPU0
    I would like Chrome to use the GPU in the CPU to HOPEFULLY avoid the crashing. I think its nest.com causing the issue but disabling hardware acceleration causes that tab to take up 50-70% CPU time. Source: over 2 years ago
