Google’s Nest, by way of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, has issued a recall notice covering all 440,000 Protect smoke alarms sold over fears that the alert will fail to sound due to a false triggering of the “Wave” feature, which disables the sound with a gesture. The recall was detailed on the US Consumer Product Safety Commission website this morning. Though… Read More
Nest launched its very first thermostat back in 2011. The product quickly became popular due to its ability to adjust itself after “learning” the user’s habits. Earlier this year in January Google announced that it has acquired Nest for $3.2 billion. Nest was founded by Tony Fadell, who previously worked at Apple. We expected that Google will gradually integrated the product into its ecosystem and it certainly has. Today the Nest thermostat has officially gone on sale through the Google Play Store.
The formal announcement comes a day after we first spotted Nest on Play Store. Listing for this product was pulled shortly after, leading us to believe that Nest wasn’t exactly supposed to go on sale at that moment. Through Play Store the Nest Learning Thermostat costs $249.
To commemorate Earth Day, Google will plant a tree for every Nest unit sold today through its store. So if you’ve been meaning to pick one up today would be the best day, get your Nest fix and make Mother Nature happy in the process.
Google is currently selling the thermostat through its store in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. Currently it lists shipping estimates between 1-2 days, however if sales are really good, one can expect shipping times to slip.

A couple of years ago, former Apple SVP of the iPod, Tony Fadell, launched his own company and a new product called the Nest learning thermostat. The device, for those unfamiliar, will learn your habits at home and will be able to adjust the thermostat automatically and according to what it thinks you like, thus taking home automation to the next level.
It was also earlier this year that Google announced that they would be acquiring the company and we guess it is not surprising to think that Google could soon start selling the device themselves. Thanks to a recent sighting on Google Play, it seems that the device could soon be put up for sale.
The listing was originally spotted by the folks at Droid-Life before it was quickly taken down by Google, presumably because the device wasn’t meant to go up for sale just yet. However like we said earlier, with Google now owning the company, it would not be so far-fetched to think that they wouldn’t sell the device themselves as opposed to sitting back and letting Apple handle its sales.
In any case there’s no telling when the device will go up for sale on Google Play, but with the recent sighting, we can only assume that it will be soon (hopefully).
