14 DAY TRIAL // Tony Fadell’s Nest thermostat is getting new functionality thanks to an update to its sidekick iOS app. Nest Mobile is a free download from the iTunes App Store.
Nest Mobile 3.5.0 lets you schedule the fan to turn on for a few minutes each hour, or on a timer. You can also set it to switch on every day at the same hour.
The app’s UI shows Sunblock and Cool to Dry in Energy History, and you can now tap and hold the tick on the large thermostat icon to change the temperature.
Filter Reminders can now send messages, and you can remove a thermostat and add or remove a home straight from the app.
Seasonal Savings and Rush Hour Rewards also send messages now, and you can see their effect in Energy History. Some minor improvements and bug fixes are included in this update as well.
