![]() Home/Away Assist can also be used to activate the Auto-Lock feature, which automatically locks the door after a specified period time when you've left home (10 seconds, one minute, or five minutes). However, you can use Nest's Home/Away Assist feature to turn compatible smart lights on and off, and automatically arm and disarm the Nest Secure security system when the lock is locked and unlocked. For example, if you have a Nest Cam Outdoor or a Nest Hello Doorbell that lets you see who is outside, you can lock or unlock the door using the same app, though you can't have the lock trigger a camera when it is locked or unlocked. ![]() The lock interacts with other Nest devices and works with Nest's mobile and web-based apps. ![]() If you already own a Nest Connect hub or the Nest Secure home security system, you can buy the lock on its own for $249.
