Google Nest is Google's smart home brand, encompassing thermostats, security cameras, video doorbells, smart speakers, and displays. Nest was founded in 2010 (originally as Nest Labs), acquired by Google in 2014 for $3.2 billion, and merged into the Google Home division in 2018. The Google Nest product lineup includes: Nest Thermostat ($130) and Nest Learning Thermostat ($280), Nest Cam (indoor $99, outdoor $179), Nest Doorbell ($179-$229), and Nest Hub smart displays ($99-$179). The Nest Aware subscription ($6-$12/month) provides cloud video history, intelligent alerts (person, package, animal detection), and emergency calling features. Nest devices integrate seamlessly with Google Home, Android, and Google Assistant. The Nest Learning Thermostat can reduce heating/cooling bills by 10-15% through machine learning. Google Nest has approximately 75 million devices deployed worldwide.
