>> Before you begin, use the Nest app to setup your Nest Thermostat.
This is somewhat confusing. I took this to mean that I should use the Nest app on my iOS device, which has no such options. Instead, what this means is to use the Brilliant Control itself to add the device (tap Home, choose room, etc.) and set up the Nest linkage. Once I did that, it works fine.
Thank you for your feedback, we've updated for clarity!
Hey Brilliant,
Is there any update on future nest integration? I'm planning on buying a set of Brilliant controls for my house but the only thing preventing me pulling the trigger is the lack of next integration. I appreciate this is a Google change but this is a deal breaker for me.
Thanks.
Andy
Andy,
We are currently working with Google to support new Nest connections. That being said, I do not have a concrete timeline as to when the integration will be available for new connections.
