Google-owned Nest is introducing a new feature today which it claims will make its home automation kit better than ever at knowing when you are home and, as a result, enable it to react to your needs by locking or unlocking doors, turning lights on or off and activating or deactivating Nest’s security cameras.

Not only does the update make the company’s thermostat smarter than ever, it’s more accessible too, by adding support for up to ten people via a new family account, that way everyone can enjoy the wonders of living in a nearly autonomous home.

Google’s Git repositories show that the company has been testing Android N for the Nexus 5 internally.
