Let your phone tell your Nest thermostat when you are at home.

Your Nest thermostat is smart enough to know when you are around, but what if you spend most of your time in another room, or if your house is so big, your thermostat thinks you are away and lower the house temperature.

@home for Nest goals are :
• tell your Nest thermostat when you are at home even if it doesn't see you.
• tell you when your Nest thermostat sees someone while you are away.
• show Nest information directly in your homescreen

@home for Nest knows your home presence by checking on your wifi or your GPS location. By default it only uses wifi detection so it doesn't pump out your phone's battery, but if your house is so big you don't catch on wifi everywhere it can also use GPS positioning.

Because all your family members don't have a phone, @home for Nest doesn't tell your thermostat when you are away, it only notifies your thermostat when you are home and let your thermostat workout family presence automatically when you are away.

@home for Nest is super easy to configure. Install on your phone, detect your home wifi (or GPS position), connect to your Nest thermostat, enable background mode and forget about it.

With @home for Nest, your Nest thermostat will always know when you are at home.

Home presence notification : More details in notification message. Fixes wrong presence detection.
