Google home thingy with nest?

OU812 · 2017-04-29 13:27:37

Anyone that have both know if there's any integration of the devices that's advantageous over having a separate home device? Apple heavily rumoured to be announcing one at wwdc and I kind of trust them more with not listening all the time and selling my info or marketing to me.

I don't have Nest (Netatmo instead), but yes the Nest Thermostat is well intergrated with Google Home. You can give it commands like: "Hey Google,"

- Make it warmer
- Raise the temperature
- Set the heat to 22
- What is the temperature inside

On the other hand, Netatmo works well and similarly with Siri/Apple Homekit, so if Apple release their own device, then Netatmo would likely work well with it.
