I-Nest yathengwa yiGoogle eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule, futhi njengoba izinkampani ezinkulu zivame ukubika, ukusebenza kwenkampani ebithengiwe kuzohlala kunjalo, akukho zinguquko ezinkulu ezizobonakala. Kepha into eyodwa yilokhu okushiwoyo bese enye yenzeka ngempela futhi isibonelo sokugcina esicacile salokhu engikhuluma ngakho yindaba kaTony Fadell neNest.
Kusukela kwethulwa amamodeli wokuqala we-thermostat yenkampani, i-Nest ibilokhu ikhona kuye kwaba inkomba emhlabeni wama-thermostats ahlakaniphile, ama-thermostats esingawalawula kusuka noma ukuphi noma ngemithetho ye-IFTTT. Kepha ngemuva kokuqhathanisa okwenziwe yiGoogle, kubonakala sengathi inani lamadivayisi inkampani eliwaqalisile lincishisiwe ngokuya ngokulindelwe yinkampani futhi inqume ukukhipha noTony Fadell njenge-CEO yeNest.
