Nest x Yale Lock

Yale knows secure locks. Nest knows the connected home. Together, we’ve made a tamper-proof, key-free deadbolt that connects to the Nest app. Now you can lock and unlock your door from anywhere. Give people you trust a passcode, instead of a key. Lock and check your door status with your voice using the Google Assistant. And always know who comes and goes.
Frequently asked questionsDo I need to buy anything else to make it work?
