Editor's Review

The Google Nest app is your one-stop solution for managing all your Nest devices. Designed with simplicity and user-friendliness in mind, this app brings together your Nest thermostat, Nest Secure alarm system, Nest Cam, and Nest Protect into a single, cohesive interface. Whether you're at home or on the go, you can easily monitor and control your home environment from your Android phone or tablet. 📱

Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E: Control the temperature of your home from anywhere. Adjust settings on the subway 🚇 or from your couch 🛋️. See detailed energy usage reports and customize your schedule to maximize savings. Get alerts about extreme temperatures before your pipes freeze! ❄️

Nest Secure Alarm System: Arm and disarm your home remotely. Receive 'Remind Me' alerts if you forget to set the alarm. Get immediate security alerts detailing what triggered the alarm, whether it's a door or window opening, or someone entering a room. 🚨

Nest Protect: This smoke and carbon monoxide alarm thinks, speaks, and alerts your phone. Receive alerts if Nest Protect senses smoke or carbon monoxide, and silence alarms directly from your phone (2nd gen only). Monitor battery status, sensor health, and Wi-Fi connection. Run safety checkups to test all alarms at once (2nd gen only) and review your safety history. 💨

Nest Cam IQ Indoor and Outdoor, Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Outdoor, and Dropcam: Keep an eye on your home inside and out with these security cameras. Get alerts when there's activity and use the talk-back feature to communicate. Review snapshots from the last three hours. Enjoy crisp 1080p HD video (Nest Cam and Dropcam Pro only). Subscribe to Nest Aware for person alerts (or familiar face alerts with Nest Cam IQ) and up to 30 days of video history. 📹

Nest Hello: Never miss a visitor with Nest Hello. Benefit from 24/7 video streaming, a full view of your doorstep, and the ability to distinguish between people and objects. Get notified about visitors even if they don't ring the bell. Use HD Talk and Listen for seamless conversations and quick responses with prerecorded audio messages. 🚪

Nest x Yale Lock: Secure your connected home with the Nest x Yale Lock. Assign passcodes to trusted individuals instead of sharing keys. Receive alerts when someone locks or unlocks the door. With Home/Away Assist and Auto-Lock, your door can automatically lock when you leave. 🔒

Nest uses smart technology to automate your home, turning off the heat and activating the camera when you leave. Forget to set the alarm? Nest will send you a 'Remind Me' alert, ensuring your home is always secure. ✨
