Nest hasn't done anything significant since the smoke alarm. I'm really not sure how their leadership maintains employment. They launched that in October 2013. What company can go for 3 1/2 years, 3 of those with Google money, and do so little? There are tons of opportunities for them to launch e.g. A real home security system with window sensors, locks, a 24x7 monitoring service, more smart home devices / integrations...
The smoke alarm wasn't even a good idea. A smoke alarm is a device you hope to never have to use. It's like making a smart fire extinguisher, or a AED with Siri integration. Really unimpressed with Nest as a company.
My Nest smoke alarm actually justified its value a couple of weeks ago: We were out in town when it let me know that there was CO in the house. We were able to rush back and turn off the leaking gas stove before things got out of hand.
I think the peace of mind that this now gives me is extremely valuable.
