By Alexei Oreskovic SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Nest, the Google Inc-owned maker of smart thermostats and other home automation products, will allow other companies to create apps that communicate with its devices. More than 5,000 developers have already expressed interest in developing apps for Nest products, according to the company. Closing a garage door for instance, can alert the Nest Thermostat that the user is away from home and to turn off the heat. LED light bulbs from Lifx can be set to flash red if a Nest smoke detector senses smoke in the house.
