Before You Start

The first thing we need to do is configure the connection between EVRYTHNG and Nest. This will require just a web browser like Chrome, and any tool that can create and send REST calls over HTTPS. When we’ve got everything set up and implemented, you’ll be able to see your Nest Cam in the EVRYTHNG Platform.

## Set up your Nest Account

In this walkthrough, we assume that you have a Nest Home account and that you have successfully configured your Nest Devices. If you haven’t done this yet, you can visit https://home.nest.com and follow the instructions to create one.

Configure Your Nest Cam

For this tutorial we will use the Nest Cam. To get detailed information about how to set up your Nest Cam, check the instructions provided by Nest.

Sign Up for EVRYTHNG

As described before, you'll need an account with EVRYTHNG. This will provide you an account and the credentials to access the EVRYTHNG platform. We’ll assume at this point you’re all set!

Have a REST tool handy

Although you can do almost everything in this tutorial through our EVRYTHNG Dashboard, there are a couple steps that require REST calls to our API directly. Any REST tool that supports HTTPS works fine - Nest recommends Advanced REST Client, and we recommend PostMan.
