Learn about Nest Sense

To keep you comfortable and help save energy, your thermostat takes into account things like your home’s construction, the weather forecast, what temperatures you prefer, and more. Sounds simple, but there’s a lot going on behind the scenes that makes the Nest thermostat a thoughtful thermostat, not just one that’s connected to Wi-Fi.

Nest Sense takes advantage of the multiple sensors and software inside your Nest thermostat. It learns from you, what temperatures you like and when, and automatically creates a schedule for you.

Since Nest Sense is also tailored to your system, you’ll find different features depending on what kind of system you have installed.

• Temperature sensors: Nest thermostats have multiple temperatures sensors to help ensure that your home is actually the temperature you want.
• Light sensors: Nest thermostats use ambient light sensors to help ensure accurate temperature readings. So if your Nest thermostat is in direct sunlight, Sunblock helps compensate so it won’t think your home is warmer than it actually is.
• Activity sensors: 2 activity sensors let your thermostat know when everyone’s gone so it can turn down the heating to Eco Temperature and help save energy.
• Radiant systems: If you have an in-floor radiant or radiator system, True Radiant will appear, which helps reduce temperature swings typical of these types of heating system. True Radiant lets your system start heating early so that your home will reach your scheduled temperature on time, and turns heating off early so it doesn’t go over your set temperature.

Nest Protect isn’t just an advanced smoke and carbon monoxide alarm. It does many things that other alarms don’t.

For instance, your Protect can test itself and let you know everything’s working with Nightly Promise, and it can light your way with Pathlight so you don’t have to fumble around at night.

Nest Protect's advanced Split-Spectrum Sensor can keep a close eye on smoke levels, and it’ll speak to you with a Heads-Up alert to let you know what’s happening before it needs to sound an Emergency Alarm.

Nest Protect also has a humidity sensor to let Steam Check help prevent false alarms when you’ve just gotten out of the shower.

Nest cameras and doorbells use Google Home Premium’s advanced algorithms to deliver more accurate motion and audio alerts. Additionally, Person alerts can notify you when a person (not a pet) walks in front of your camera. Learn more about camera and doorbell alerts.

These improvements need a lot of computing power, much more than your Nest camera or doorbell can deliver by itself. So we use powerful cloud servers to make Google Home Premium’s advanced detection possible, and we regularly update the algorithms to provide the best experience.
