On this week's episode of HomeTech: We are joined by Gene LaNois - Head of Professional Channel at Nest Labs. Gene provides us with an overview of Nest's unique program, which seeks to create a thriving, and symbiotic relationship with the professionals of various trades who chose to incorporate Nest products into their installation businesses.

That plus... What Apple's (half-baked) efforts tell us about the future of TV. SmartThings teams up with Leviton. Is Savant returning to their roots? And a solar roof that looks nothing like an ugly solar roof.
