July 9, 2014: Nest Developer Program Launches with First Product Integrations
Allows Other Products to Connect with Nest Learning Thermostat and Smoke/CO Alarm
PALO ALTO, Calif. — Nest Labs Inc. has announced the launch of its Nest Developer Program, which makes it possible for Nest and the more than 5,000 developers who’ve expressed interest in the program to work together to create interactions among Nest products and others — both inside and outside of the home. Nest said the program allows everything from lighting to appliances to fitness bands and even cars to connect with Nest products.
“The Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Protect alarm are already helping people save energy, stay comfortable, and improve home safety — but that’s only the beginning,” said Matt Rogers, founder and vice president of engineering, Nest. “Our goal has always been to bring this kind of thoughtfulness to the rest of your home and life — and that’s what the Nest Developer Program is all about. To kick off the program, we’ve worked with iconic brands like Mercedes-Benz and Whirlpool, as well as new industry leaders like Jawbone and LIFX, to build seamless, secure, and practical ‘Works with Nest’ experiences for the home.”
