What news says ?

On January 13, 2014, Google announced it was buying smart-device company Nest Labs for $3.2 billion in cash. Google CEO Larry Page told about the Nest in a brief post announcing the deal, "It's amazing to see how they have taken important but unloved devices and made them beautifully simple and useful,"

According to Deal, Nest Founders Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers will both join Google. Rogers was one of the first engineers on the iPhone team at Apple.



What is nest ?

What is Google Nest : Nest joining hand with Google. Nest is a Home Automation company that designs and manufactures programmable Thermostats and Smoke Detectors. The company introduced its first product, the Nest Learning Thermostat, in 2011, followed by the Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide detector in 2013.

Thermostats: It’s like automatic temperature regulator. Most people leave the house at one temperature and forget to change it. So the Nest Learning Thermostat learns the schedule, programs itself and can be controlled from your phone. (Android or iPhone). It can lower heating and cooling bills up to 20%.







Smoke+CO alarm : It tells  where smoke is or when carbon monoxide levels are rising. This gives  an earlier warning if there’s an emergency. If this alarm goes off, then Nest Thermostat automatically turns off  the gas furnace—a possible source of poisonous carbon monoxide leaks, and can stop from dangers. User can get the status on smart phones and can from anywhere.
