So i wanted to share this with others who are using Homeseer and Nest Cameras. I found a way to display my nest cameras and hello doorbell in HomeSeer Mobile and also added them to a dashboard (see below)
This is how i did it.
Login on chrome to your Nest.com account and make sure you are sharing your camera and then grab the link for the share (see below i have blurred mine):
Open Chrome (new tab) and paste the link in the URL and then on that same page where you are seeing you live shared nestcam feed click on the 3 dots in the top right corner and then go to More Tools --> Developer Tools
The developer tools will help you find the code below to get the URL which we will need to add as a camera link in Homeseer Setup. You need to find the video.nest.com and expand the live folder and click on the link below the live folder (i have blurred mine). This will bring the code on the right up and you need to find the <meta name="twitter:image section. You want that https link (see below)
Copy EVERYTHING starting with HTTPS: all the way to the right. Basically you want the entire link without the double quotes
After you have this copied to your clipboard open Homeseer and goto Setup --> Cameras and paste the link(s) for each manual camera you want to setup:
And thats it! You can add the camera to you dashboard and even open full screen.
I am going to post this link to the HomeSeer Mobile Message board too for Nest Users that want to test their Nest Cameras in this NEW AWESOME MOBILE APP!!!!
