Nest Mobile 4.0 Features Redesigned Interface And Support For New Nest Protect
November 15, 2013
Nest Mobile has just been updated to version 4.0 with an all new design, improved integration with Nest Thermostat, and added support for Nest Protect.
The app's redesigned interface is, unsurprisingly, based largely on the look and feel of iOS 7. Among its key improvements over the old interface are its animated weather display, more detailed "Where" location settings for Nest devices, and full support for both portrait and landscape modes.
Nest Mobile was originally designed as a companion app for Nest Thermostat. And its latest update furthers this purpose with the addition of arrows for easily increasing and decreasing the target temperature.
But with the launch of the latest Nest home automation device this month, the Nest Protect carbon monoxide and smoke detector, Nest Mobile has been enhanced with even more features. These include support for Nest Protect to improve Nest Thermostat's Auto-Away function and support to have Nest Thermostat turn off heat when Nest Protect detects high levels of carbon monoxide.
And of course, Nest Mobile has been enhanced with support for the key functions of Nest Protect itself:
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later, Nest Mobile 4.0 is available now in the App Store for free. [gallery link="file" order="DESC"]
