The Nest Learning Thermostat is smarter and sleeker than ever

Today, we’re announcing how we’re using Gemini to boost our smart home devices and experiences, while reinventing two of our most iconic and beloved devices: Google TV Streamer and our latest generation smart thermostat.

Thirteen years ago we introduced the Nest Learning Thermostat, which revolutionized the entire smart home industry — turning a thermostat from a boring box on your wall into a device that’s intelligent, helpful and beautiful. And that’s not all: We’ve helped customers save billions of kilowatt hours of energy across millions of households, giving them a way to save money and help the environment, directly from home.

Today, we’re doing it again, sharing with you the completely reimagined Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen), our smartest and most beautiful thermostat yet. And for the first time, it comes with a redesigned Nest Temperature Sensor (2nd gen) in the box.

The next generation of an iconic design

When we first developed the Nest Learning Thermostat, it was built on the principle that a thermostat doesn't have to look like a bulky gadget on the wall — it can be something that compliments your home, and be beautiful in both function and form. Now we’re taking a major step forward, evolving the design of our award-winning Nest thermostat and building upon what customers loved about the original.

Every element of the design has been thoughtfully crafted. From the sleek, slim profile that creates the illusion the thermostat is floating to the rich, gratifying click that accompanies each rotation of the stainless steel bangle, this thermostat is the culmination of years of meticulous attention to detail.

The new domed crystal LCD display is 60% bigger than the previous generation, and housed behind multiple layers of mirror and colored films, completely eliminating the appearance of bezels for a long-lasting aesthetic. We’ve also made the display even more helpful. The new Dynamic Farsight lets you customize the home screen to easily view the time, temperature, weather or outdoor air quality up close and at a glance.

To complement any home interior, the thermostat is available in three metal finishes: Polished Silver, Polished Obsidian and Polished Gold. After all, these devices are attached to your home. Like a light fixture or a faucet on your sink, your thermostat needs to be functional, but it can also look great, too.

Advanced AI to help you save energy and maximize comfort

With the Nest Learning Thermostat we introduced the concept of intelligence to help you save energy and money. It keeps you comfortable while you're home and switches to an energy-efficient temperature when you're away. And the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) is our smartest, most advanced thermostat yet.

It uses AI to automatically make micro-adjustments based on your patterns to keep you comfortable while saving both energy and money. Now, AI can more quickly and accurately create your personalized, energy-saving temperature schedules. With Smart Schedule, the thermostat learns which temperatures you choose most often or changes in behavior based on motion detected in your home — like coming home earlier — and automatically adjusts your temperature schedule to match. These energy-saving suggestions can be implemented automatically, or you can accept or reject them in the Google Home app so you’re always in control.

The thermostat also analyzes how the weather outdoors will affect the temperature inside. For example, if it’s a sunny winter day and your home gets warmer on its own, it will pause heating. Or, on a humid day, the indoor temperature may feel warmer than intended, so the thermostat will adjust accordingly.

Each thermostat comes with a new Nest Temperature Sensor to help you manage hot and cold spots in your home, like prioritizing the temperature in a baby’s room during their naptime. You can add up to six temperature sensors for maximum control and flexibility, and you can now select multiple sensors and average the temperatures across them. You can even choose which sensors are active at different times of day by linking them to your schedules.

The Nest Temperature Sensor comes in a discreet, pebble-like form that fits in any home environment. Place it on a bookshelf or hang it easily in any room by the keyhole on the back.

Technology that looks after your home

Homeowners know heating and cooling systems can be expensive to replace if they break. The System Health Monitor feature tracks your HVAC performance over time, sensing subtle issues and sending you urgent alerts for problems that may require immediate attention. For example, if you turned on the AC, but your home failed to cool, you may not notice immediately. But your thermostat can send you an alert, and over time your thermostat will get even smarter about detecting potential problems based on how your system behaves.

And if you have a ventilation system, we're introducing a new feature called Smart Ventilation. It brings in fresh air when outdoor air quality is healthy and it’s most efficient, like when temperatures are mildest. If pollutants like wildfire smoke make outdoor air quality unhealthy or temperatures are extreme, the thermostat will automatically pause ventilation.

You'll also have comfort knowing Nest Learning Thermostat monitors the humidity levels of your home — helping prevent the risk of mold or condensation building up on your windows.

Simple solutions to support clean energy

We know many people are eager to live more sustainably and help address one of our generation's most profound challenges: climate change. Nest thermostats empower people to do so right from home with Nest Renew. Once you enroll in Nest Renew, your thermostat can automatically make small adjustments that shift energy use to cleaner and less expensive times. These adjustments are small but add up — contributing to a more reliable and efficient energy grid while lowering household energy bills at the same time.

Easy to install, set up and use

Nest Learning Thermostat is easy to install and, with its new 12-terminal backplate, expands compatibility to work with most HVAC systems. You can set it up yourself and control it through the Google Home app, so all of your compatible smart home devices are in one place, working together. It’s easy to set up automations so that when heat is on and you have window sensors that detect the windows that are open, you'll receive a notification reminding you to close them and conserve energy.

The most popular thermostat controls in the app, like adjusting the temperature or your schedule, have also been redesigned to be easier and more intuitive. And because the Nest Learning Thermostat is Matter-certified, you can also control it with other Matter-compatible smart home apps.
