Can you add on the app a section where we have the last 7days of the temperature.
I imagine a double curves of my home temperature and the outside temperature, with on horizontal axis the heating periode colored.
It could be very useful to understand how a thermostat work .

It depends on your skills and experience, but this can be done in another way that gives you many more options: use the Nest API's. I've written a bash script that can query these API's, and I can - for example - poll these API's to obtain the data from my Nest thermostat and do with it whatever I want. To give you an idea of what kind of data you can obtain, this is the output of my Linux command 'nest' (some data anonimized):
$ nest The time is Sun Jan 8 15:23:35 CET 2023 You are in ****** Your Nest display is known as "******" Humidity there is 53 percent Room temperature is 18.23 degrees CELSIUS Outside temperature is 9.18 degrees CELSIUS Outside windspeed is 5.66 m/sec Currently we have broken clouds Wind direction is SSW (200 degrees) Air pressure is 997 hPa Desired minimum temperature 18.05133 degrees CELSIUS Your heater is OFF Have a nice day $_
Note that the weather data is obtained by querying the OpenWeather API, similar to what the Nest itself does, as it has no external weather sensors.
Of course, a modified version of this script can be used to store your data in a database (whatever kind) and utilities like gnuplot might be used to plot the double curve etc.
Actually, I have roughly the same desire you have, but will also combine it with data on my gas- and electricity consumption.
But it requires sufficient Linux / bash skills. If you have such skills, you may consider checking out this link for some additional information, which should suffice to get you started.

Hi everyone,
@Titotom I'm dropping by to ensure that everything is covered here. Let's see what we can do here. To confirm, are you referring to the energy history with the ambient and outside temperatures detected by your Nest Thermostat? Keep us posted.
Thanks for answering, Mel and fortean.
Regards,
Emerson

Hello Titotom,
Just one quick final check in here since activity has slowed down. We'll be locking the thread in the next 24 hours, but if you still need help, I would be happy to keep it open. If there's more we can do, just let me know.
Best,
Emerson
