Works with Nest. | Nest

There’s no place like a Nest home.

  • Say you left in a hurry. When Nest notices you’re away, your lights can automatically turn off.

  • “Heads-up,
    there’s smoke in
    the kitchen.”

    Smoke alarms are loud,
    but what if the stereo’s blaring?     If your stereo works with Nest, it can turn down the music to help get your attention when Nest Protect senses smoke or carbon monoxide.

  • Want to keep an eye on things while you’re away?  When your garage door works with Nest, your Nest Cam can take a snapshot so you know who's coming and going.

How it works

  • Start with Nest.

    All you need is a Nest Thermostat, Nest Protect or Nest Cam. Add another product, like a light bulb, and they’ll start to notice each other, learn from one another, and help you out – all on their own.

  • Simple, secure setup.

    Sign into your light bulb app, tell it to connect to Nest, then verify your Nest Account. It’s private, secure, and you’re always in control. Learn more >

  • It just works.

    You don’t have to be a tech geek to get things working. Once you connect a product to Nest, it automatically starts doing things for you, without you having to program it.

  • Sleep at your ideal room temperature.

    Every night your Nest Thermostat works with your Sleep Number® smart bed to help you find your ideal room temperature for a better night’s sleep. See how it works >

  • Shades that move to keep you comfortable.

    When your Nest Thermostat senses you’re away, it can tell your Hunter Douglas shades to move as the sun does and let in more or less heat depending on the season. So your home stays comfortable, helping you save energy and money all year long. See how it works >

  • See if there’s smoke before going inside.

    When Nest Protect senses smoke or carbon monoxide, your SkyBell HD button can turn red, letting you know before you open the door. See how it works >

  • A bright idea.

    When Nest notices the house is empty, your Wemo controlled lights can automatically turn off to help you save energy. See how it works >

  • Don’t get in hot water.

    When Nest notices you’re gone, your water heater can turn itself down to save energy. And because gas heaters can be dangerous in a smoke or carbon monoxide emergency, if Nest Protect goes off, your water heater will turn off. See how it works >

  • Alexa, keep me cozy.

    Just say “Alexa, set my bedroom thermostat to 68º” and your Amazon Echo or Fire TV can tell the Nest Thermostat to change the temperature. See how it works >

We take your privacy seriously.
Very seriously.

We make sure you have control over what’s shared.

Before you choose to connect any device or service with Nest, we’ll explain exactly what the benefit will be and what information will be shared. Depending on the connection, that may include basic home and device data, HVAC system specs, smoke and carbon monoxide status, Home and Away states, or Rush Hour Reward events. We don’t share any usernames, passwords, email or home addresses. Period.

You can disconnect at any time.

Every company we work with is required to follow a list of guidelines that limit how it can use the information you’ve agreed to share. We take those rules seriously, and can revoke third-party access at any time. You can also disconnect an integration whenever you’d like. If for any reason you decide to delete your Nest account, we’ll automatically disconnect any active integrations for you.

We take extra steps to keep your data secure.

Privacy is important. But so is security. All our connections use SSL. Which means communications between Nest and other third-party companies are always encrypted.
