Tony Fadell Home Quotations

I started designing the greenest the most connected home before the iPhone and the iPad.

The truth is, homes change over time — and technology has to adapt, not try to do everything at once.

We're thrilled to join Google. With their support, Nest will be even better placed to build simple, thoughtful devices that make life easier at home, and that have a positive impact on the world.

Google has the business resources, global scale and platform reach to accelerate Nest growth across hardware, software and services for the home globally.

Nest really came out of a process where I was trying to design the most connected and the most green home that I knew of. I was curious of just about everything that goes into a home and building a home.

I say homes are for families, and you have to make sure you design for the family, not just one person: kids, your wife, your grandparents need to be able to use it.

Your television has changed, your phone has changed. Why don't these other things you need, that the government tells you you must have in your home, change?

While I was designing my home, I was living in different houses all around the world, and I saw thermostats that were just as bad as the ones in the U.S., or houses that needed them but didn't have them. I realised that this was a worldwide problem. I thought, 'Let's fix it.'
