At Last! Auto "Home" / "Away" for Nest that works!

This geo-fence app for a nest thermostat works extremely well. It will work for multiple family members and, if you use Apple family share, you only pay for the first app.

This latest revision of QuickControl includes three different options for small and large geo-fence rings. Decide whether you are in and out of your home for short local trips or out of town for multiple days in cold or hot weather.

The smaller radius ring will switch the nest thermostat to "away" when the last person leaves the home. The larger geo-fence ring will switch to "home" when the first family member crosses it to allow for warm-up or cool-down before arriving.

The app on an iPhone is all you need ... The Today pull down notification Widget allows control with the iPhone locked. Also, each user can switch notifications on or off ... or a voice notification can announce when nest has switched via your car Bluetooth connection.

But the Apple Watch app is the best of all. A complication shows "home" or "away" and the home temperature in the corner of your watch face. Touch it and the app opens for full control including set-point adjustments. The app also incorporates a full function slide up Glance as well.

The support email response is immediate and very receptive to enhancement suggestions.

I would give this app six stars if it was a choice!!
