Nest x Yale is here to help you lock your smart home
Nest recently announced two smart home products known as the Nest x Yale door lock and Nest doorbell. We recently wrote about Nest doorbell, but this time it’s going to be Nest x Yale door lock.
Smart door locks for smart homes is nothing new, they are here since some time. The most interesting part is that a lot of companies are trying to build intelligent and efficient smart door locks to improve the user experience.
Nest x Yale
Well, Nest and Yale together contributed to the development of this amazing product called the Nest x Yale lock. Nest has got a handful of smart home products already and this one is being added to the list recently.
The Nest x Yale door lock works with Nest connect and gives remote access to your smart door lock. The nest connect should be paired with the door lock and it should be connected to the internet at the same time.
You can control the door lock with the nest smart phone application and keep your house safe. The door lock comes with pretty handy features, but it’s not yet completely compatible with voice commands and third party products.
You cannot control it with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, but within some time you’ll see few new updates with these features. Nest x Yale door lock primarily works with the concept of passcode unlocking system and it could be controlled with the help of your nest application.
You can add new passcodes and share it with your friends or relatives, so that they could access your house without a key. You’ll get instant notifications and updates about the passcode usage activities.
The door lock is not yet compatible with nest doorbell, but in future it may become a feature. The doorbell is smart enough to recognise who’s in front of the door, so probably that’s a better way for you to understand who’s in front of the door and to unlock the door remotely with your smartphone.

If you’re a fan of nest products, then you should definitely give this a go. As of now the product is not really compatible with a lot of other smart home products, but surely in future, you’ll be able to receive great updates.
Most importantly, it keeps your house safe without letting anyone open your door without your permission. If you’ve the nest outdoor camera and nest doorbell, then you should definitely go for this one and make it complete.
