About this app

At Google Nest, we make products that are beautiful, helpful and easy to use. The Nest app is no exception.

Control your Nest thermostat, arm and disarm your Nest Secure alarm system, see your home with Nest Cam, and get an alert if Nest Protect goes off – all in one place. And receive notifications on your Android phone or tablet.

Nest uses sensors, algorithms, and the location of your phone to do the right thing automatically, turning off the heat and turning on the camera when you leave. Forget to set the alarm? It will notice, and send you a Remind Me alert.

Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E

Thermostats that program themselves to help you save energy.

- Change the temperature from the subway or the sofa using your phone.
- See how much energy you used, and why.
- View and edit your schedule.
- Get extreme temperature alerts before your home gets too cold.

Nest Secure alarm system

- Arm and disarm your home remotely from the app.
- Receive a Remind Me alert if you leave home and forget to set the alarm.
- Receive a security alert on your phone telling you what triggered the alarm – a door or window opening, or someone entering a room.

The security cameras that let you see your home on your phone, inside and out.

- Check in 24/7 with crisp 1080p HD video (Nest Cam and Dropcam Pro only).

really annoying about demanding you turn on notifications and rate the app. Also very pushy about using other services that just ignore your hand-made thermostat schedule. Some were opt-out with no notice. Others made no indication that my set temps would be ignored. I don't want it to automatically set the temperature 3 degrees hotter to save energy. I already have it set to the perfect balance of temperature and cost savings. I just want to control my thermostat from my bedroom.

It's just clunky for something without many settings. The weekly setting is difficult to manipulate because it's on a slider. In addition to the choices for Eco, Heat, Cool or Off, there should also be Weekly to use the user created weekly schedule and AutoSense, to use that schedule. Leaving Heat and Cool to be manually set by the user. Instead this is all in poorly done in old Nest settings.

I'm immobile at home. the closest one keeps going offline. Which keeps me out of reach of the other ones because it's Bluetooth. So when there is cooking smoke I can't turn it to silent. It has me as away yet I've only been out 5 times in 9 months. It tells me it can't find my phone when it has extra accurate GPS access. I have four of them and one that goes offline continuously. It's an expensive waste of money.
