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 receive 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 heating and turning on the camera when you leave. Forgotten 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 while on the train or from the sofa using your phone.

Nest Secure alarm system

- Arm and disarm your home remotely from the app.
- Receive a Remind me alert if you've gone out and forgotten to set the alarm.

You can't run the fan when set to Off mode?! Unbelievable. Just because I don't want heat or cool, doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to blow air around. Even cheap old thermostats can do that. Also needs permanent hold option, mainly because if I turn it to Off, the fan will no longer kick on, as mentioned. Also would like more versatility to how often the fan runs rather than the same amount of time every hour. Edit: the links provided are not helpful and confirm what I said above.

It's a thermostat. Can't say I receive much "smart" benefit. I don't think filter reminders work. I changed the filter in July, now Dec, still no notice to change. An option to save favorite schedules would be helpful, as seasonal learning isn't effective. Seasonal savings learning needs an option to activate manually rather that estimated season changes. Are Eco leaf awards based on my home usage or community average temperatures? Not helpful or "smart" if not based on community statistics.

update- years later and this app is still awful and frustrating. constantly disconnecting from my devices ( which have been connected and show up fine in my Google home app). the only option it gives is home and away and will not show camera or thermostat even though I'm logged in and they are connected! Glitchy ! We have a lot of glitchy issues and it looses connection really easily, even when everything is connected.
