The Nest Learning Thermostat programs itself, automatically helps you save energy when you’re away and can be controlled from anywhere. And now, the Nest Learning Thermostat is thinner, sleeker and more beautiful than ever. The display is even bigger and sharper [1]. The main differences between the new and old models are in design and Google’s cost-cutting measures. To be clear, the Nest Thermostat isn’t replacing the Learning Thermostat. Instead, it’s the go-to affordable option now that Google is transitioning the Thermostat E to professional-only installs. [2]

Figure 1 shows Get a smart, energy-efficient thermostat in your home with the Google Nest Thermostat. Easy to install and use, this smart thermostat can turn itself down to save energy when you're away from home, and it's easy to control with your voice via Google Assistant or through the Google Home app. The Nest Thermostat can even send alerts if it notices any issues with your HVAC system.

Features

When Nest spots you across the room, it lights up to show you the time or the temperature you set.

Nest Leaf

The Nest Leaf appears on the display or in the Google Nest app when you choose an energy-saving temperature.

No more confusing programming. Nest learns the temperature you like and builds a personalized schedule for your home.

Home/Away Assist

Don’t waste energy heating or cooling an empty home. Nest automatically saves energy when you’re away.

Airwave

This unique technology helps you use less air conditioning while staying perfectly cool.

Energy-Saving Potential

Nest shows you how much energy you use every day in Energy History and every month in your Home Report. So you can see when you use more energy, like on weekends or Monday nights, and how to use less. Saving has never been so easy.

Easy to install and use

• Super-easy to install by yourself, with most installations taking 30 minutes or less
• For most homes, there's no common ("C") wire required, which makes installation even easier; installing a new C wire may be required with heat-only or other systems
• To change the temperature, just swipe the touch bar on the side of the thermostat or use the Google Home app
• Primary power comes from HVAC system wires; two AAA 1.5V alkaline batteries (not included; sold separately) can provide a battery backup [2]
