Icontrol Networks, the company behind the most widely used connected home platform in the industry, today announced it is working with Nest through the Nest Developer Program and enabling companies in its OpenHome™ ecosystem to integrate with the Nest Learning Thermostat™. The Nest integration is available now through the Icontrol-powered PEQ home automation system, which can be purchased at MyPEQ.com and Best Buy.
Starting today, PEQ customers will be able to access and control their Nest Learning Thermostat within the same, easy-to-use Icontrol interface that includes their door locks, lighting controls and live video streaming.

"The Icontrol and Nest integration shows how two leading companies are working together to break down barriers to smart home adoption, making it easier for customers to come on board."
Leading innovators including the Logitech Harmony Living Home lineup of remotes, the Philips® Hue family of connected lighting, Pebble, Kwikset Door Hardware, and CentraLite are also a part of the growing OpenHome ecosystem, offering ultimate customization and flexibility for homeowners.
