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.

  • 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 >

  • Your sprinklers to the rescue.

    If Nest Protect thinks there’s fire, Rachio will automatically turn on sprinklers around the house. See how it works >

  • More lighting control, even when you’re out.

    If Nest Cam sees a person at your place while you’re away, Caséta Wireless dimmers and switches can turn on your lights to make it look like you’re home and give you peace of mind. See how it works >

  • Come home to the perfect temperature.

    Driving home? Your Automatic car adapter will tell your Nest Thermostat to start getting your home comfortable before you arrive. See how it works >

  • Big savings with Big Ass Fans.

    Your Haiku fan can help Nest cool down the room. Pick a temperature you want in the SenseME app, and Nest and Haiku will do the rest. See how it works >

  • Connect with your range from anywhere.

    GE Appliances WiFi-enabled ranges and wall ovens work with the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm to send you a notification if the oven is left on, or turn off if smoke is detected. See how it works >

Your data. Your privacy.

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.

When you trust Nest with your data, it’s governed by Nest’s and .
