Keeping everything on one basic platform - including Nest devices - makes managing a smart home far easier and means less room for interference or communication issues. The result is a growing series of smart devices that developers are lining up to work with. It’s sleek, easy to use, and comes with enough learning algorithms and smartphone integration to help us tailor the user experience to our own liking. Google has also acquired the Nest team and tech alongside the thermostat and has expanded the platform to include a smoke and carbon monoxide detector (Nest Protect) and a smart cam (Nest Cam). Google’s Nest thermostat has become a poster child for what a smart device should look like.
