 * `"Protect.Disable"` - exclude Nest Protects from HomeKit
 * `"Protect.MotionSensor.Disable"` - disable *MotionDetector* accessory for Nest Protects
 * `"Lock.Disable"` - exclude Nest x Yale Locks from HomeKit
+* `"Nest.FieldTest.Enable"` - set this option if you're using a Nest Field Test account (experimental)
 
 By default, options set apply to all devices. To set an option for a specific device only, add `.device_id` to the corresponding `option`, where `device_id` is shown in the Homebridge logs, or in HomeKit itself as *Serial Number* in the Settings page for your device. For example, to disable one specific thermostat with serial number 09AC01AC31180349, add `"Thermostat.Disable.09AC01AC31180349"` to the `"options"` array.
