Former Apple iPod and iPhone hardware chief Tony Fadell has come up with a new way to imagine your home thermostat — the Nest Learning Thermostat. It’s a touch-controlled system that makes your home energy needs simple and easy to control remotely via an iPhone or iPad app.
The product is just a programmable thermostat. But the genius of Nest Labs is that it decided to make the iPhone of thermostats–a device that looks cool and is smart enough to spare the owner the frustrations of unfriendly technology.
According to Nest, the thermostat takes roughly a week to pick up on your energy routines and adjusts your temperature accordingly. A display changes colors to red or blue to distinguish between heating and cooling, and the design is very Apple-like. The greatest part about the Nest Learning Thermostat is the iOS app for your iPhone or iPad, letting your remotely adjust Nest’s settings and get all the vital information you need on-the-go.
All-in-all, this looks like a great way to save on energy consumption with the help of your iPhone.
