You Can Now Control Your Nest Thermostat With Voice Commands

Nest

Google gobbled up smart-thermostat maker Nest back in January, and now we’re seeing the promised fruits of that union: You can now use Google Now to control your Nest.

The feature was announced as part of an open API Nest announced this summer. It works pretty simply. Instead of having to tap to the Nest app to control your thermostat, you can dictate commands through Google Now. You can say things like “Change the temperature on my nest to 76″ or “Turn the thermostat down to 72.” You can also say “Raise up the temperature to 78″ or just “Change temperature.” You can also dictate temperature commands in Celsius, if you’re one of those people.

Google has a huge list of possible voice commands you can use.
