Google’s cheapest Nest Thermostat now supports Matter, but the more expensive ones don't
Your Nest Thermostat will start to Matter in your smart home ecosystem
After numerous delays, Matter launched in November 2022. Since then, the list of Matter-compatible accessories has only grown by leaps and bounds. But there have been issues. Belkin gave up on the smart home standard a year after it announced an updated version of all its popular smart home accessories. Philips has also delayed bringing the standard to the Hue bridge without providing any reasoning. On the other hand, Google has gone all in on the protocol and added Matter compatibility to several of its smart speakers and displays in December 2022. And now, true to its words, the company is updating the Nest Thermostat with Matter support.
This hot Google Nest Thermostat deal will keep you feeling cool all summer long
We've seen better prices before, but the Nest goes on sale so rarely that you'll want to grab it now
The Google Nest Thermostat is easily one of the best smart thermostats you can get right now and definitely our favorite of the bunch. It offers a ton of features to improve your quality of life around the house, including voice commands and auto-scheduling. Now that you can get it for $90, that's a $40 discount that you can put towards savings or any other smart home gadgets you're interested in. We saw the Nest Thermostat available for $80 back in January, but since this gadget rarely goes on sale, we'd be inclined to just buy it now rather than wait for months on end hoping a new sale comes along.
ADT will let you manage Google Nest products in its updated app
The security company is embracing Google's smart home vision for the future
With Matter finally a reality, the smart home market is really starting to evolve. The ADT+ app is set to receive a major overhaul in February, with new functionality promising to better integrate all of your devices. The home security company announced this update at CES 2023, and the biggest changes involve some surprisingly thorough integrations with Google Nest cameras and thermostats.
Nest thermostats' energy saving feature costs Google $20 million in patent infringement case
Just a month after Nest speakers were found violating Sonos' IP
At the beginning of this year, Google was forced to change how Nest speakers work following a Trade Commission ruling that found it guilty of infringing on Sonos' patents. Just a month later, the company is at the receiving end of a patent infringement case related to Nest products again, though this time it has to do with the tech used in Nest thermostats. A West Texas jury has ordered Google to pay $20 million after finding it guilty of infringing on one of EcoFactor's patents.
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.
