These old Google Nest thermostats may soon be obsolete – but it’s not all bad news

If you have an old -fashioned Google nest, it is losing its smart capabilities later this year.

I A post last week On the official support blog, Google announced that it would eliminate support for three thermostat models: the thermostat of the actual first -generation nests from 2011, the second -generation’s nest learning the thermostat that took place in 2012 a year later, and the second generation of the European version of the nest learning from 2014.

No more smart features

Not only does Google prevent future software updates for these devices, but it is also pulling all smart features. Google says thermosts will still work, including current schedules, and you can continue to control the temperature and set the schedules directly on the device, but you will not control anything with the nest app or Google Assistant.

Support ends October 25, 2025. No other devices are affected at this time.

Branch of a olive

To reduce a slight blow, Google is offering to affected users. If you are still using one of these thermostis, Google has the thermostat to learn the fourth-generation nest (which Zdnit’s Maria Diaz has worked a beautiful piece of tech “and one” can trust you for years-or maybe you will send $ 130 to you for decades “). With the MSRP of MS 280, which reduces the price to $ 150.

Google said it is changing the “fully investing” in the latest generation of thermostas.

Bye, Europe

In the same announcement, Google also says that it is fully expelling its thermostatis from the European market. He explained, “The heating systems in Europe are unique, and it has various hardware and software requirements that make it difficult to build for a diverse set of homes.”

If you have the real thermostat of the nest, a good Chance is that it still works well, so it will definitely be disappointing for many users. Pulling updates is one thing, and it will not be such a big deal, but fully pulling functionality is a huge choice. About 50 % discount is a very good offer, but changing the hard wired thermostat is much more complicated than plugging and tossing the smart device that has reached the end of his life.
