About Nest

Google Nest provides smart home devices—thermostats, indoor/outdoor cameras, video doorbells, smart locks, smoke/CO alarms, and smart speakers/displays—that enable short-term rental hosts to remotely monitor and manage their properties. Through the Google Home app, Gemini AI, and the Device Access API, Nest products integrate into vacation rental operations for energy savings, security surveillance, keyless entry, and automated guest experiences.

What sets this company apart

Nest's key differentiator is its deep Google ecosystem integration—Gemini AI for intelligent event detection, the SDM API for PMS integrations, and Google Home Premium with 60-day video history, all in a unified platform combining thermostats, cameras, doorbells, locks, and alarms.

Excellent Support @ NEST.

Excellent Support @ NEST. After many months without heat, and many attempts and mis-diagnosis, a dedicated local NEST Pro support technician came to my residence multiple times, doing careful diagnostic work. He eventually found the issue (with help from Google NEST Technical support in the background) and fixed the problem. All under warranty. Extremely pleased.
