  • First, you need hardware. In our case, thaFirst, you need hardware. In our case, that means sensors for temperature and humidity, plus a motion sensor to figure out whether you're home, and relays to control the furnace and the fan. We also need a display so you can see the current temperature, and an enclosure to protect the messy bits. Breadboard the hardware (breadboarding is a non-permanent way to create an early hardware prototype). We chose a number of components for this product (see the list of components above). All in all, it took about an hour to throw together this breadboarded prototype, although we had to order the components a couple of days beforehand. It took another couple of hours to pull together working firmware (see the software section below).firmware (see the software section below).  +
  • Next, we laser cut three acrylic disks: * one to act as the faceplate (which we later sanded to make it frosty); * a second to act as the wall mounting plate; * and a third connects the spinning wooden ring to a potentiometer.  +
  • Next, you need software. Some of this softNext, you need software. Some of this software runs on the thermostat (often called 'firmware'), reading data from the sensors, controlling the relays, and displaying data on the screen. But since this is a connected thermostat, we also want a web interface so that it can be controlled from your smartphone or computer. And since it's a learning thermostat, we also want to do some machine learning so that we can over time improve your comfort and energy efficiency. This software will run in the cloud.
    ''Firmware'' is called firm because it's traditionally more locked down than software, since it runs on a little chip that usually is never accessed again after the product is delivered to the customer. But adding an internet connection changes things pretty significantly. Firmware is no longer firm when you can update it from anywhere with the click of a button. With a [https://store.particle.io/collections/photon Particle Photon], you can flash new code onto your chip using our web IDE.

  • Once our thermostat was complete, it was tOnce our thermostat was complete, it was time to assemble it all together into the final package and mount it on the wall. All in, we spent about $70 on components to put this together (including $39 for the Particle Core); the wood and acrylic were free. We started working at 10am and finished at 3am, with 3.5 engineers involved (one went to bed early), and the only work we did in advance was order the electronic components.vance was order the electronic components.  +
  • Once we completed the enclosure, we converted our breadboarded circuit into a more permanent design by permanently soldering the components.  +
  • Once you've got your hardware and your sofOnce you've got your hardware and your software, it's time to link the two worlds. Somehow you've got to get your thing online, and there are dozens of ways to do this. The simplest method is by adding a Wi-Fi module, so your product can act as a client on your local Wi-Fi network. The [https://store.particle.io/collections/photon Particle Photon] has a Wi-Fi module built in, and because it's integrated with the micro-controller, 'connectivity' is made easy. The Core automatically connects to the Particle Cloud through an encrypted tunnel, so you've got a secure connection to a cloud gateway out of the box. No programming the Wi-Fi module, and no finding or building communications protocols.ding or building communications protocols.  +
  • Our thermostat is complemented with a clouOur thermostat is complemented with a cloud-based web app that handles all of the complex logic of the thermostat.
    By doing this in the cloud, we can iterate faster using high-level programming languages and frameworks like Ruby on Rails rather than low-level embedded C.
    The Particle Cloud exposes your connected device through a REST API. That means that you can interact with it from any language that can generate HTTP requests, which is basically anything. The beauty of a connected device is that it can be constantly improving, whether it's by updating the firmware, updating the cloud software, or by using machine learning to optimize and improve the logic of the device.

  • The Nest enclosure is glass and aluminum, The Nest enclosure is glass and aluminum, which are both very pretty but not very handy for prototyping. Instead, we chose acrylic and wood. First, we CNC milled two wooden rings: one to act as a stationary base, and other to spin freely as a temperature controller.

  • We're not saying that you can build a $3.2We're not saying that you can build a $3.2 billion company in a day. But we are saying that you can build a $3.2 billion company, and it's easier now than it's ever been before. Connected devices/Internet of Things/M2M/Industrial Internet is a certified big deal, and the Nest acquisition proves it. It doesn't matter whether you're a software developer with no hardware experience, an embedded designer with no web experience, or a psych major with no experience whatsoever. This is the next frontier, and it's time to check it out. Your billion dollar company starts with a million dollar product, and your million dollar product starts with a hundred dollar prototype. So what are you waiting for?
    Fair warning - we're not claiming to have matched the Nest thermostat in a day; far from it. But remember — every polished product starts as a rough prototype. As Alexis Ohanian [https://twitter.com/towynlin/status/421456323138441216 said], "The first version of everything you love is janky!"
