Nest promises ‘big announcement’ at September 20th event

Nest just sent out invites for a September 20th press conference at which the company says it will make a “big announcement.” Having just unveiled a new, more affordable smart thermostat, Nest clearly has some other products lined up for the fall. The invite makes reference to a couch and popcorn, suggesting that Nest might be preparing a new gadget meant for the living room, but offers no other hints as to what might be coming late next month.

Aside from the redesigned thermostat, Nest has also recently launched home security cameras including the Cam IQ. The new Nest Thermostat E features a simpler, more conventional design than the company’s previous thermostats and will be available beginning tomorrow for $169.
