Yale to Market Nest-Powered Door Lock

The ‘damn breaking’ Nest Weave invention is a new IoT-connected Linus Locke by Yale. Nests’ web site lists a variety of device manufacturers working on devices that can use the Weave communication protocol.

The Nest Weave can run over Wi-Fi and Thread but its simplicity makes it more reliable, compact, secure and scalable than existing IoT protocols, according to Nest.

This, says Nest, is especially important for safety and security products, like smoke alarms or security systems.
