Google Home isn't good news for Nest

You just unveiled your widely anticipated smart home device, Google Home. Like Amazon Echo, it's an always-listening device that can answer queries, check schedules and work with third-party smart home devices, including those from Nest. Dotted around my home are four Nest devices: two Nest Thermostats, a Nest Cam (formerly a Dropcam) and Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide detector. I can control the thermostats with my Amazon Echo. By the fall, I might be able to get my hands on Google Home and let it access and control these devices. Chromecasts are Internet set-top devices that, unlike Apple TV, don't really sit on top of or beside the TV, they tend to hang off an HDMI port.
