IFA — Nest Labs, Inc. (www.nest.com) announced today that the Nest Learning ThermostatTM and Nest Protect: Smoke + Carbon MonoxideTM alarm will be available in Belgium, France, Ireland and the Netherlands later this month. Nest products will initially be sold in approximately 400 retail stores across Europe with another 150 stores to be added by the end of the year. Nest also announced three new European energy partnerships, adding Direct Energie, Essent and Lampiris, to offer more people the opportunity to save energy as part of their energy plans.
Nest Protect: Smoke + Carbon Monoxide
Nest data suggests that at least one million households in the U.S., U.K. and Canada are exposed to high levels of carbon monoxide each year. Because safety is knowing, Nest Protect does much more than just sound a shrill alarm when there’s danger in your home. Nest Protect speaks to you, in your local language, telling you what and where the problem is. It will even alert your phone when something’s wrong. Before it sounds a piercing alarm, Nest Protect gives you a friendly Heads-Up warning. And Nest Protect’s Pathlight glows white at night to light your way in the dark as you pass below it.
The More You Nest, The Better it Gets
Nest products can do even more by working together. For example, if Nest Protect’s carbon monoxide alarm goes off and there is an active WiFi connection at the time of the event, the Nest Thermostat automatically turns off the gas furnace – a frequent source of carbon monoxide leaks. In addition, Nest Protect’s activity sensors improve the Auto-Away feature of the Nest Thermostat.
