I want my Kumo Sensor to just control my NEST's cooling without heating or fan?

Is it possible to associate my NEST with Kumo Sensor tag with cooling control only?

I was using IFTTT but it has now failed after the recent outage from wireless tag servers. So what I want to do is the following : 

If TAG is too hot {
  turn on cooling}
If TAG is normal {
  turn off cooling and do nothing else}

Is this possible with KumoApps?

Just to add, I tried using the normal monitor thermostat temperature by linking NEST, but it failed to turn on cooling after about 5 triggers ... So I hope using KumoApps can solve this issue.

I use this to turn my heating off when it gets too hot in particular rooms, you should be able to tweak it for your benefit.
 
 
 
 
var sensors = <#Temperature sensor_[12|13|32|52|62|72]_N#>;
var thermostat = <#Thermostat_[62]_1#>;

sensors.forEach(function(sensor){

        sensor.temperatureCross= function () {
                try{

                    if(sensors.some(function(tag){ return tag.tempState==2 }));  // any tag is too hot
                          KumoApp.Log(sensor.name + " has return to normal temp " + sensor.tempState);
              thermostat.forceBits(0, true); // turn thermostat off
                    KumoApp.Log(thermostat.name + " successfully turned off!!.");
                   <~devices to send notification~>.push(sensor.name + " Has return to normal temp, so the heating has been turn off");
                   
                }catch(e){
                    KumoApp.Log(JSON.stringify(e));
                }
        };
});

Thanks for replying, got a few questions : 

                    if(sensors.some(function(tag){ return tag.tempState==2 }));  // any tag is too hot


I'll be using this as an IF statement when the room gets hot.

              thermostat.forceBits(0, true); // turn thermostat off


I'll set this to 1 so that it turns on

____


Now how would I get set it to turn off when the temperature returns to normal? TempState==0?

If I remember right it -1 to turn the fan on 0 for off and 1 for heating on.

thermostat.forceBits(0, true); // turn thermostat off

To turn off
There should be a published app in the kumoapps that might suit your needs.

To turn the fan on, use thermostat.fanOn = true; (read
http://mytaglist.com/kumoapp/4092/fanon)
To turn the AC on, use thermostat.forceBits(-1, false); this will
set the target temperature below current temperature if that should
make nest turn on AC. The nest must not be away mode or off mode.

Do I need to disable thermostat monitoring or remove it from association? My thermostat just turned my AC on without the Kumoapp from running, it more likely activated by reaching the thershold in thermostat monitoring, disregarding the code completely.
