The Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Energy Services are designed to keep the home owner comfortable and address home energy consumption. The Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide alarm provide protection in the home and the Nest Safety Reward scheme allows home owners to save money through participating home insurance providers, while Nest Cam keeps an eye on what is happening in and around the home.

In addition to exhibiting at Firex International, Lionel Paillet, General Manager of Europe for Nest will be speaking within the Firex Expertise and Guidance Theatre. In his session Lionel will talk about how technology is reinventing the unloved smoke alarm. From self-testing to mobile alerts to split-spectrum sensors, he will explain why a beep is no longer enough, and how fire prevention is being reinvented for a whole new generation of consumers.

Gerry Dunphy, Event Director- Ifsec and Firex International said: “We are really pleased to host both Nest and Lionel Paillet within Firex International this year, as the home becomes more connected it is exciting to see how this is developing into the life safety market. Smart technology and home automation will be taking a far more prominent role at both Ifsec and Firex International in 2016 with the Ifsec Smart Zone launching and a host of leading exhibitors such as Nest showcasing the latest products in this market.”
