Thanks for the response nime5ter.

'Update Nest data' worked and I'm looking forward to adding the 'target' code tomorrow! Cheers!

First of all, hello everyone! 'Mr Wolf' recommended VoxCommando to me a while back and just recently, I've finally purchased it to integrate with my smart appliances. It really is an interesting and powerful application - great work by everyone involved.... I'm really enjoying using it!

For anyone interested, I'm running it from a 'Zotac Pico' mini computer which is connected to a SoundBlaster SBX10 speaker/microphone combo. I can really recommend the microphone. I have read through a lot of discussions on this forum about microphone options and have seen the 'Amazon Echo' mentioned a few times. It was the Echo which motivated me to purchase the SBX10 - it looks similar to the Echo with it's tube shape, has a built in speaker and an array-microphone. Only cost me £30 too.

I have my setup working smoothly now with my TV/Tivo/sound-bar (via the USB-UIRT), Philips Hue lightbulbs and Nest thermostat. I just have a couple of questions about my Nest though:

1. I am able to connect to the Nest and adjust the temperature, but when I ask for the current temperature, it always reports back 17.01 degrees. Any ideas on this?

2. Is it possible to request the 'target temperature'?

Thanks again
Nick
