Nest Labs Adds Nest Weave Communication Protocol to Its Works With Nest Program

The Nest Weave communication protocol is among several updates added to the Works With Nest program, making it “the most comprehensive platform for developers building connected home products,” the company said in a Thursday announcement. Nest Weave, previously limited to Nest products, “lets devices talk directly to each other and to Nest products,” solving many issues “associated with connecting products in the home,” Nest said. That includes the ability to connect “power-constrained devices as well as devices that require low latency and redundancy," it said.
