After the Plugin reload the errors re-appeared and INDIGO was kept abreast of status.
Several hours later the errors ceased and so did INDIGO updating of NEST status.
Manual request of status did not cause any error in log.
I'm going to do a 15 minute schedule for status request for now.
Hopefully the NEST support will not go away.
Sure, expensive but also kinda cool and with INDIGO it's even better.
I don't have everything implemented yet.
Unless the plugin is updated to report 2nd stage heat mode is on I'll go back to original thought of using MIMOLight to trigger, along with an AC-->DC conversion to feed input signal of MIMOLite.
Plan to do similar for cooling via portable AC in summer.
All in all, it's been fun getting the NEST online and into INDIGO.
