Feature Request – Nest watchOS App

level_ken — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 19:36:20 GMT

My Nest Learning Thermostat (Display-3.4, OS 6.2-22) has worked well over the years, and I'm glad to say that I haven't experienced many issues since installing it in late 2018. However, I would like to see (and I think it's possible) an app for the Apple Watch.

For example, the Nest watchOS app would allow users to view and change temperatures with the up and down arrow buttons seen on the iOS app. In addition, users can scroll up for other options such as setting heating, cooling, or Eco modes, running the fan timer, and viewing the home's energy history from that screen. (I'm describing what you see in the following screenshots but adapted for an Apple Watch.)

The iconic temperature "ring" will transfer well onto the watchOS app, like AccuWeather's "current temperature" screen below, with an orange or blue hue for heating or cooling and a shade of gray if the A/C is on sleep mode. And if just the fan is running, then the "spinning fan" icon would be cool to see on a watch screen.

Finally, I really hope that I'm late to the party on this idea and that it is already in the works. 😎

View and change temperature modes...Set fan timer or view other features...This is the AccuWeather current temperature screen, which I'm using to show what the Nest Thermostat Screen could resemble.As you can see, when you scroll up you get more information –– the Nest screen could have a similar layout.
