Nest

Nest is an innovative approach to home technology that will make your life easier. Nest products work together in an intuitive way to learn about your lifestyle and habits – for example, what time you go to work in the morning and when you to bed at night. Core Nest items communicate with other products, known as Works with Nest, to help protect your home, keep your family safe and reduce your energy bills.

Sound complicated? It’s actually simpler than it sounds! Best of all, you can manage all your Nest devices easily in one place by downloading a free app to your smart phone or tablet. And you don’t need to programme them or tell them what to do. They just get on with it!

Nest products

To start using Nest, you’ll need one or more of their three core products. These are the Nest Learning Thermostat, the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm, and the Nest Cam home monitoring system. We’ve summarised their key features below:
