'NEST thermostat hot water status and control missing from API

I would like to control Nest thermostat (3rd gen with heatlink) domestic hot water, however the API doesn't seem to be exposing neither it's controls nor it's status (https://developers.google.com/nest/device-access/api/thermostat). As there's clearly at least an internal API for that, which the thermostat itself is using: would it be possible to expose the same controls/stat for external use? Use-cases:

  • home assistant integration
  • triggering a 'boost' with a push button

This is one of the worst aspects of Best, being able to bost hot water is essential, since it is in the app when is it not available though API. I realise this is probably because having separate water tanks that are controlled independently is not as common in the states and Nest us very USA centric, but the feature is key in the app.
