If you use Nest’s home automation products, you can have them automatically detect when you’re home or away. If you are out, your Nest Thermostat can automatically turn down your heat to save you money while you’re out, your Nest Cam can start monitoring your house for movement when you’re not there, and your Nest Protect smoke detector can test its alarm when nobody’s home to be disturbed by it.
