I am using the REST API for the Nest themostat, and I seem to be getting incomplete data from the Nest servers. The names of some of the thermostats are missing (and the word "Thermostat" is in the place of the names), and the away temperature target temperature of the thermostats is also missing. Following is the JSON returned from a GET HTTP request. Has anyone else seen this?

}It looks like you have names for two (Downstairs Thermostat, Master Bedroom Thermostat) of the five thermostats in your list. I would guess no specific name was defined when the thermostat was set up at Nest.com. The away setting is in a different portion of the api, under the structures data element. The theory being, if you're away, it would impact all of your thermostats.
