Google bought up Nest earlier this year for a reported $3.2 billion. We all expected Google to eventually turn around and make it part of the line-up up products that we can buy through the Play Store. Seems that day has finally come as we now see Nest being splashed on the front page of the Play Store linking into the Devices section.
Fitting launch day really, being Earth Day and all. In simplest terms Nest is smart thermostat that learns and can be controlled via your Android device. They say it is a simple self install device that takes a person less than 30 minutes to install if you are comfortable flipping of your breaker and following some color coded guides. It is compatible with 95% of all heating and cooling systems installed in most homes today. Google didn’t drop the price tag though, which some expected. The Nest will still set you back $249.00 and will ship in 1 to 2 business days. As an added “feel good” to your purchase, Google will plant a tree for every Nest purchased today for Earth Day.
If you are interested, head over to the Play Store and grab one.Â
