It's been nearly a year since Nest, makers of the coolest thermostat on the market, were sued by industry stalwart Honeywell, but that hasn't stopped the company from finding success. According to a report from GigaOm , Nest is now shipping 40,000 to 50,000 Learning Thermostats every month — and if Nest continues growing at this rate, it would be selling around one million thermostats per year. That's pretty impressive for a product that's a bit of a luxury — most houses probably don't have $250 thermostats, after all. It's worth noting that this is shipments, not sales, but GigaOm's source says that they track closely.
