    Thanks Spud. For me, even with the fuzziness at the edges (system will sometimes be on when the virtual device says off and vice versa) the function would still be helpful. I use it to trigger a few events and if there is an overlap there is no real issue, just a little electricity waste. If you put that into the next release I'd appreciate it. But if you see it as more of an issue/confusion than benefit, I'll complete understand too.

      ok, I will add this virtual device in the next version of the plugin.
      the humidity % has just been added in version 1.1 of the official API, so there is hope to see HVAC status added to the API as well in a future version.

      I have added a feature suggestion here: https://community.nest.com/ideas/4101

            spud,I am not sure if anyone else can confirm but my humidity setting doesnt seem to change. I am sitting at 27% now on the nest and through the app but HS is showing 25 which is what it was when I enabled this version.

              In your Nest account, have you allowed the update for the HomeSeer Nest plugin?

                I did yes and it created the 2 new devices. The hvac status does change as it follows your logic. No errors showing in the log. I'll check the debug and see if the values being passed are correct.

                  So I can confirm now that once it hit 30% it did update within homeseer. is this a limitation of the api or is it my coordination between homeseer and nest?

                    it's on Nest side, it looks like they round the humidity to the nearest 5%, I'm not sure if this is a bug or done on purpose, but right now there is nothing I can do to fix this.
