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.
- See how much energy you've used and why.
- View and edit your schedule.
- Receive 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've gone out and forgotten 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.

Nest Protect

The smoke and carbon monoxide alarm that thinks and speaks, and alerts your phone.

- Receive an alert if Nest Protect senses smoke or carbon monoxide. (Requires Wi-Fi and a working Internet connection.)
- Silence an alarm from your phone with App Silence (Nest Protect 2nd generation only.)
- See the status of your batteries, sensors and Wi-Fi connection.
- Run a Safety Check-Up to test all your alarms at once (Nest Protect 2nd generation only.)
- See your Safety History so that you know when alerts happened and why.

Nest Cam IQ Indoor and Outdoor, Nest Cam Indoor, Nest Cam Outdoor and Dropcam

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

- Receive alerts when there's activity and respond to get someone's attention.
- See what you've missed with snapshots of the past three hours.
- Check in 24/7 with crisp 1080p HD video (Nest Cam and Dropcam Pro only).
- Receive person alerts (or familiar face alerts with Nest Cam IQ) and up to 30 days of video history when you subscribe to Nest Aware. (Subscription service sold separately.)

Nest Hello

Know who’s knocking.

- 24/7 video streaming means that you’ll never miss a moment.
- Designed to show you everything at your doorstep – people head to toe or parcels on the ground.
- Can tell the difference between a person and something else.
- Notifies you about visitors, even if they don’t ring the bell.
- HD Talk and Listen lets you have a seamless conversation with someone at your door.
- When you can't answer the door, quick responses let you reply to visitors with pre-recorded audio messages.

Nest x Yale Lock

The lock for a more secure connected home.

- Instead of sharing keys, assign passcodes in the Nest app to people you trust.
- Receive an alert when someone locks or unlocks the door.
- With Home/Away Assist and Auto-lock, your door can lock itself when you leave.

Some features require a working Internet connection, Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth.

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.

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.

This app worked perfectly fine for 10+ years but recently started deciding to turn on Eco mode when I'm at home, and even while actively using the app on my home wifi. Now I have to disable eco mode or risk waking up in a pool of sweat at 3 am in the summer. So a special thank you to the developer that broke the geofencing.
