These old Google Nest thermostats may soon be obsolete - but it's not all bad news
Briefly

Google is discontinuing support for older Nest Learning Thermostats, specifically the first and second-generation models. Effective October 25, 2025, these models will cease receiving software updates, resulting in the loss of smart functionalities. Users can still manually control the devices but will not have access to features through the Nest app or Google Assistant. In an effort to ease this transition, Google is offering discounts on the latest thermostat models. Additionally, they are withdrawing from the European market due to the unique heating system requirements across the continent.
With the impending loss of smart capabilities for older Nest thermostats, Google aims to fully invest in its latest generation of thermostats, offering $130 discounts on new models.
Google's decision to terminate support for older Nest thermostats, including the first-generation models, emphasizes the company's focus on advancing its technology to better meet customer needs.
