Credit

The idea for how to structure/build the project and accept flags for running the exporter came from reviewing node_exporter.

There is already a nest exporter available. I borrowed the metrics port from that exporter. I wrote a new exporter for learning purposes.

nest_exporter's Issues

How to get metrics now that WWN is going away?

Hi there,

I just installed a Nest thermostat today and wanted to get on with scraping some metrics, and looking at your exporter (and a few others) it seems that the way to do this has always been the Works with Nest (WWN) program which is being retired in a few weeks. It looks like I can't even log into the Nest Developers console to try your exporter.

Have you found a route to continuing to get your metrics through the WWGA platform? I've not worked with it so I'm a bit confused at first, but I'll report back if I figure it out.

Thanks
Patrick

Docker Hub builds are only tagged with 'latest'

Hello!

Sorry, me again. It looks like you're only tagging the docker repos with 'latest' (hooks/post_push has been removed in 6f60556, which caused docker hub to add extra tags to the built image - without that, it will only tag latest.

Would it be possible to add some extra per-build tags, so a container can be pinned to a specific version?
