Google’s new smart ceiling fan demonstrates how Google is a leader in smart home technology, with its famous Nest range
Designed by Joseph Morlote, the Nest Ceiling Fan is a natural addition to a range that already controls your climate at home, like the thermostat.
Except it is more than simply a fan you can control via an app. It is actually a smart hub with many functions:
- omni-directional speaker
- smart light bulb
- microphone
- sensors for the thermostat
- alarm
- smoke detector
It doesn’t have a camera because photos of the top of people’s heads isn’t very appealing.
Unusually for a hypothetical product, it comes with an image, which is the whole point – it looks great!
