  • The Nest app was just updated to v5.7 with the following changelog:

While there might be lots of changes itinerant in Nest behind closed doors, the visitor is continuing to push its products and release improvements to make them more desirable and endeavor to exist profitable for its parent Alphabet. Today brings a lot of news from Nest, both in terms of new products and new features.Outset, Nest Thermostat is getting three new colour variations with new materials. At that place'south a white one, which Nest isn't too eager to depict. Then a blackness color with carbon blanket containing pure silicon, carbon, and titanium, which makes it resistant to scratches and oily fingers. And finally a copper ane forged with steel for durability and mode. You tin can grab these color variants from the Nest Store.

Second, the Nest Cam Outdoor, which was announced in July, is now available for auction for $199. It's quite like to Nest's indoor security photographic camera, only it's meant to withstand rain and snow in club to concluding outdoors. However, go along in mind that it uses a magnetic mount and a visible cable (which isn't rated for in-wall use), which might get in a lot more vulnerable to thieves than other brands of outdoor security cameras. The Cam Outdoor is upwards for sale on Amazon, All-time Buy, the Nest Store, B&H, Newegg, and more. Some of these however oasis't updated their expected ship engagement, but it does look similar at least the Nest Store has it in stock at present.

Third, when Nest announced the Cam Outdoor, it said that it was improving its algorithms to non simply notice move and sound, but as well differentiate human presence. That is coming at present to Nest Enlightened subscribers. Person alerts will permit you know if your Cam is sure it's a person or just suspects it might be.

Additionally, an update to the Nest app (which still hasn't rolled out on Android) will bring Sightline, an updated timeline that lets you apace skim through past recordings and highlights central moments by activity zone.

And finally, the nicest news of them all: every Cam owner gets three hours of complimentary history, even if they don't have a Nest Aware subscription. This lets you admission the aforementioned Sightline and snapshots of important events that subscribers get, merely for the cool toll of nothing. 3 hours is super brusk, just I gauge it's something... At least it could lure non-subscribers to bank check what they're missing and maybe start paying Nest for x or 30 days of history.
