The Nest platform has grown to be a major competitor against even the larger smart home systems.  They have done this leveraging their various technologies to work together in a harmonious fashion. We work with the entire Nest ecosystem including the following technologies:

Nest Thermostat

The Nest thermostat was the first nest device to emerge and is still one of the better products that they make. The recent addition of remote room temperature sensors allows the system to do the same room by room temperature control that Ecobee is capable of.

Automation Capabilities

  • Turns off HVAC when smoke is detected when paired with a Nest Protect
  • Keeps temperature at your comfort level in each room you go into with Nest Temperature Sensor

Nest Cam & Nest Cam IQ

The Nest Cam itself has a fantastic picture and is capable of recording audio as well as video. These cameras can be used inside or outside of the home. The newer Nest Cam IQ takes all of this an adds new features such as facial recognition.
One concern with this camera system is that it typically plugs into high voltage which makes it a difficult camera to retrofit while avoiding exposing unsightly wires. We have a solution for new installations or retrofit applications that avoids using high voltage and makes for a cleaner and more reliable installation

Automation Capabilities

  • It uses facial recognition to alert you as to WHO is causing motion
  • Can use google speaker as a voice announcing chime

Nest Hello

The Nest Hello is quite the little doorbell. The camera in it is the best that we have seen in a doorbell and the IQ capabilities with facial recognition make this doorbell the best one on the market.
The unit comes with a back plate that can angle the camera towards the walkway.

Automation Capabilities

  • It uses facial recognition to alert you as to WHO is causing motion
  • Can use google speaker as a voice announcing chime
  • Unlock the door after talking to you arriving guest when paired with the Yale Lock

Yale Lock (Integrated with Nest)

Nest and Yale worked together to create this lock that works directly with the Nest ecosystem. It is completely keyless and allows you to unlock/lock the door remotely as well as creating user codes for friends and family

Automation Capabilities

  • Allow friends and family to enter the house using their own code

Yale Protect

The Nest Protect is a smoke and carbon monoxide detector that integrates into the nest ecosystem. On the surface, it is just a nice detector that sends alerts to your phone when it senses something. It gets additional value from built in presence detection, night light, and thread mesh repeater.

Automation Capabilities

  • Assists in home/away modes for better control of your thermostats and camera system
  • Turns of the HVAC when smoke is detected.
