About SmartNest

Pioneering the future of intelligent living since 2019

Our Story

SmartNest was founded in 2019 by a team of engineers and designers who believed that smart home technology should be accessible, intuitive, and truly intelligent. Frustrated by the fragmented smart home market where devices from different manufacturers rarely worked together seamlessly, we set out to create an integrated ecosystem.

Today, SmartNest powers over 500,000 homes worldwide, helping families save energy, enhance security, and enjoy a more comfortable living experience. Our headquarters in San Francisco houses our research lab, where we continue to push the boundaries of home automation.

Our Mission

We believe every home deserves to be smart. Our mission is to make intelligent home automation affordable, reliable, and simple enough for anyone to use. We're not just selling devices — we're creating experiences that improve daily life.

By combining artificial intelligence with elegant hardware design, we create products that anticipate your needs, protect your family, and reduce your environmental footprint — all while respecting your privacy and data security.

Our Values

The principles that guide everything we build

💡

Innovation First

We invest 30% of revenue into R&D, constantly exploring new ways to make homes smarter. Our team holds over 120 patents in IoT and home automation technology.

🔒

Privacy by Design

Your data stays yours. All processing happens locally on our hub, with end-to-end encryption for cloud features. We never sell personal data to third parties.

🌎

Sustainability

Every SmartNest product is designed to reduce energy consumption. Our packaging is 100% recyclable, and our devices are built to last a decade or more.

🤝

Accessibility

Smart home tech should work for everyone. Our products support voice control, large-text modes, and integrate with assistive devices for users with disabilities.

🚀

Reliability

With 99.9% uptime and local processing capabilities, SmartNest works even when your internet goes down. Your home automation never takes a day off.

Customer Love

Our 24/7 support team and 30-day satisfaction guarantee ensure you're always taken care of. We measure success by customer happiness, not just revenue.
