- Ivee — Announced originally as the Ivee Sleek, the Ivee device is a Linux-based, voice-activated home assistant that “lets you know when a Nest energy rush hour is about to start or finish,” according to Nest. The Ivee, which is equipped with a 4.3-inch display and looks and acts like a clock radio, can control a variety of third-party devices via voice. A Siri-like voice assistant answers basic questions about things like weather or stock prices.
- Life360 — This family-focused, mobile scheduling app will “let Nest know once everyone’s gone for the day so you don’t waste energy heating an empty home,” says Nest.
- Pebble — This popular smartwatch now lets you “change the temperature and set your Nest Thermostat to Home or Away,” says Nest.
- Rachio — The Rachio sprinkler controller controls sprinklers inside and outside of the house. “If Nest Protect senses smoke, the Rachio controller can automatically turn on sprinklers around the house,” says Nest.
- SNUPI Technologies — SNUPI’s WallyHome is a wireless sensor system that does things like detect leaks and mold. With the WallyHome, “your Nest Thermostat knows not to heat or cool an unused room,” says Nest.
