Nest is a Google-led company dedicated to development changing home accessories which can be controlled thanks to Google Assistant or devices such as Google Google or Google Nest Mini. In the catalog we can find everything from thermostats to smokers, through security cameras.
Of course, These devices are not compatible with Apple HomeKit. If you want to integrate them with a clever apple bite program, the solution is through Homebridge. Now, thanks to Starling Home hub, you no longer have to slow down to get them to work, but it can be done in a simple way.
The "plug-and-play" solution
Starling Home hub is an easy way to use Nest devices with Apple HomeKit. It allows you to use thermostats, temperature sensors, cameras and smart keys with a simple Californians platform. The manufacturer confirms that it is a solution plug-and-play and that is ready in less than two minutes. You just need to connect to the router via Ethernet and configure it using its web tool.
Some of the things that can be done with the Starling Home hub using Siri are:
- Control the temperatures with Nest thermostats.
- Check the temperature of any room with the Nest thermostat.
- Check the status of the devices.
- Watch live video and audio from Nest cameras from anywhere.
- Get notifications when someone rings the Nest bell.
Starling Home hub works with all Nest accounts and Google accounts, although only 2-step verification is available. In addition, the company confirms that data is not stored or shared in the cloud. Although it includes a USB port, it is currently useless, or could use the opportunity for future updates.
Available on the manufacturer's website for $ 89,00, as well perform the export. A power adapter is included in the package (an adapter compatible with Spanish plugs would be required, even though they use Micro-USB, so we may have one compatible at home), an Ethernet cable and a user guide, above the hub.
