Some Google Nest products can use their sensors to detect activity in your home.
These are the sensors each product uses to detect activity:
Google Nest products |
Sensors |
Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E |
A motion sensor detects movement in the room. Your thermostat also notes if you manually adjust the temperature on the device. Note: Google Nest Temperature Sensors don’t have activity sensors, so they can’t help with presence sensing.
|
Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) and Nest Thermostat |
A Soli sensor detects motion proximity and presence of nearby objects. The Nest Thermostat also notes if you manually adjust the temperature on the device. |
Nest Protect |
An occupancy sensor detects if someone is in the room. Note: To maximize battery life, battery powered Protects check in less often, but they can work with other Nest products to help improve presence sensing accuracy.

Nest × Yale Lock |
An optical sensor detects if the bolt is open or closed. |
Google Nest speaker or display Google Nest Hub (2nd gen) |
Uses touch or voice control to interact with the device. |
In addition to touch or voice control, a Soli sensor detects if someone is nearby. |
