A new unofficial app for Google Glass, called the Glass Nest, helps you control the temperature of your house.
Glass is probably the hottest topic on the planet now in technology, and the apps that are coming out for the device are endless. A new app called the Glass Nest would help you control the home temperature using your Google Glass.
The app takes advantage of the Nest API, which then gives the user to control the Nest thermostat from anywhere on the planet using their Google Glass. If you need to control the nest thermostat, all you need to do is to just tap on Reply, in the temperature screen, and speak out the voice command with the desired temperature. And boom, the temperature adjusts itself.
The developer has also given a lot of commands which you can use to control the thermostat. Here are some of the commands which you can use using your Glass.
