Light-Up Security


You can’t be in two places at once. When you’re on vacation, Nest will automatically turn your LIFX lights on and off making it appear like someone is home. In addition to this, Nest Cam will flash your lights on if motion is detected, to help deter would-be intruders. Meet the Nest Cam. Meet the Nest Cam.

Home/Away Assist


You can’t be in two places at once. When you’re on vacation, your Nest Learning Thermostat will automatically trigger your LIFX lights to turn on and off at randomly, making it appear like someone is home for added piece of mind when you’re away. Meet the Nest Learning Thermostat.

Save Energy


You can use Nest away settings and Rush Hour Reward notifications to help save energy. Your Nest Learning Thermostat will flash your LIFX lights at the start of an energy rush hour, letting you know that your house is about to conserve peak time energy and earn you rewards. To help further savings, when your Nest Cam no longer detects motion your lights will dim to 10%. Meet the Nest Learning Thermostat.

Visual Alarms

When Nest Protect senses smoke or carbon monoxide, your LIFX lights flash red to warn you, then switch to full brightness to help you and your family exit safely. Meet the Nest Protect.
