Nest History

A scratch your own itch nest thermostat history logger. Logs current temperature and humidity every 5 minutes then gives you a web UI to view it. Uses weather underground to log outside temperature and chartjs.org for graphing. I've got this running on a raspberry pi at home on my local network

	NEST_USERNAME 				: '<nest username>',
	NEST_PASSWORD				: '<nest password>',

Missing features

Multi-device support. Data is logged but only one device is shown
Graphing Performance is poor because of the amount of data we're showing. This could be optimised
Web Security. Setup on my local network at home, but if you were to put it on the web you should probably seat it behind nginx and use some http authorization to prevent unauthorized access
Works on the latest chrome. Might be issues with not-so-old browsers.
