Best smart thermostats that support Amazon Alexa in 2024
The top thermostats that will work with your Alexa smart home
When it comes to controlling the temperature of your home, an analog thermostat can only do so much. Many great smart thermostats have several advantages over traditional options. For example, they include remote control, zone temperature control, and the ability to learn the users' habits to schedule accordingly. Some can even remind you when to change your air filter or stream music.
How to use Google Nest Audio or Nest Hub as a Bluetooth speaker
You don't need Wi-Fi for a good time
You can ask Google Assistant on your Nest Audio, Nest Hub, Google Home, or any other awesome Assistant-powered speaker to play music from your favorite streaming service. But it's also possible to use these devices as traditional Bluetooth speakers and stream music to them directly from your phone or tablet. This is handy when you want to play a locally stored music file or audio clip on the speaker or display, for example, during an internet outage.

Google's At a Glance widget on Pixels could start notifying you of packages spotted by your Nest Doorbell
The latest teardown suggests the feature could be under development
Google's Nest Doorbell family, like many other smart video doorbells, leans heavily on software to deliver a compelling feature set, and for the most useful stuff that's going to require a Nest Aware subscription. Users have already been able to get alerts when carriers drop off packages, and now a new report suggests that package delivery notifications may be coming to the Pixel's At a Glance widget, as well.
Google recently announced four new cameras for its Nest lineup, but only two of them were actually available at the time of the announcement: The Nest Cam (battery) and the new Nest Doorbell (battery). The anticipated Nest Cam (wired) may have just reared its head, though. A recent version of the Google Home app is displaying the product name during the camera setup process, and might indicate a launch is imminent.
Strange bug is causing all your Nest devices to pause playback when viewing a camera feed
Because your Nest cam footage requires absolutely all of your attention
Google's Nest line of connected smart home products includes all different kinds of devices, including smart displays, smart speakers, and smart cameras you can put anywhere in your house. They're really useful to have as they allow you monitor your home remotely and let you save video footage if something ever happens. Now, though, there's a weird bug affecting several devices in the Nest ecosystem involving the video feed from cameras.
Nest Hello owners now have one less reason to open the actual Nest app
You can now control Quiet Time and Quick Responses from Google Home
Controlling all of your various smart home gadgets can be tricky, but thankfully, Google's Home app acts as a single hub perfect for security cameras, robot vacuums, and RGB light bulbs. Google has been making several efforts to integrate its Nest hardware with Home, including killing off its legacy Wifi app last month. With a new update to Home, Nest Hello users can access even more controls without relying on any other app.
Google says it will give Nest devices longer software support than Pixel phones
Five years of bug fixes and security updates, at the very least
Software updates are important for all electronics. But for smart home equipment, it's the difference between having a working, cohesive system, and a big collection of useless hunks of plastic. Perhaps aware of some recent high-profile issues along those lines, Google has promised software support for all Nest devices for at least five years after purchase.
Get the 2020 Nest Thermostat for its lowest price ever
The cheapest way to automate heating and cooling using Nest hardware
The 2020 Nest Thermostat is Google's budget solution for controlling heating and cooling in your home, but it was still rather expensive at its introductory price of $130. Amazon already undercut the $100 mark earlier this year when it sold the thermostat for $99, but if you missed that deal, you can now get it a tad cheaper. During Prime Day 2021, the Sand-colored Nest Thermostat only costs ($35 off), while other colors are available for $99 again.In our review, we've come to like the thermostat for its easy setup and the firm integration with the rest of your Google-powered smart home, robust scheduling and voice control options, and its reliability. Sure, you're not getting the same premium features and the great look and feel provided by the Nest Learning Thermostat, but it also runs you more than double the cost of its budget sibling.
Google swears this is your very, very, (very) last chance to add a Nest Detect to your system
Expand your Nest Secure while you still can
Read update
What's the only thing Google likes more than introducing new products and services? You, in the back? Yes, that's right: killing them off. Last fall, we spotted the writing on the wall as the Nest Secure home security system was being retired, including its Nest Detect sensors. In the months since we've had a few opportunities to snag more of those sensors as they sporadically returned to the Google Store, but now we're getting word that they're finally about to leave for good.
It's been three years since the Nest Hello video doorbell launched, but we have yet to see Google introduce a successor. We already know that the company plans to announce a new lineup of security cameras later this year, and thanks to a new leak, this could be our first glimpse of next-gen hardware.
New Google product passes through the FCC — could it be a new Nest Cam?
It's a 'Wireless Streaming Device' with a battery, that much we know
We often find out about new Google hardware products in cryptic fashion when they arrive at the Federal Communications Commission. Due to confidentially agreements, the regulator only discloses the bare minimum in these listings, but we can usually make an educated guess at what to expect. The latest example appears to be a new Nest Cam.
Nest devices suffer a brief outage, Google says system should now be fully operational
It has been [0] days since our last major smart home system failure
If you tried to take a peek through your Nest Wi-Fi cameras earlier today, and couldn't, you weren't alone. The Nest system appeared to have a widespread outage on Wednesday, as reported by users on Reddit, Twitter, and other social networks. According to a statement from the official Google Nest Support account, the outage is over.
Google still hasn't solved year-old Nest Mini issues
Major problems persist for Google's Mini speaker
Turns out, the hotword detection failure on Wear OS isn't the only problem that remains unsolved by Google after many months. The Nest Mini, which was launched in October 2019, has been facing a couple of issues since at least December 2019. Much to the dismay of frustrated users, these problems have yet to be sufficiently addressed.
Tip: Google Assistant can help you manage your phone's battery life, even remotely
Hey Google, do I need to hug a wall right now?
Google Assistant is useful beyond answering run-of-the-mill questions about the weather or helping set alarms and timers. You can ask it to make restaurant reservations, schedule lights on or off, or tell you how much you slept last night. At some point, it also picked up a new ability that lets you manage your phone's battery life remotely — since we didn't know about it, we figured you probably won't either.
Nest Cam Indoor 3-pack is back down to $248 (~$100 off)

Google's upcoming smart display might use radar to track your sleep
Soli can see you even when the nightlight is off 🌝
Earlier this week, we learned that Google is preparing a new smart home device for a possible release this year. FCC documents showed it has a display screen, uses a 14V power supply, and comes equipped with the same Soli motion-sensing technology used by the Pixel 4 and Nest Thermostat. Now a new report claims that the sensor could be used to power a surprising new inclusion: sleep tracking.
