Google pulls the plug on your old Nest - but you get nearly 50% off a new thermostat

If you have an older Google Nest thermostat, it might be losing its smart capabilities later this year.

In a post last week on the official support blog, Google announced that it would end support for three thermostat models: The original first-generation Nest Learning Thermostat from 2011, the second-generation Nest Learning Thermostat that followed a year later in 2012, and the second generation of the European version of the Nest Learning Thermostat from 2014.

No more smart features

Not only is Google stopping future software updates for those devices, it is pulling all smart features. The thermostats will still work, including existing schedules, and you can continue to control the temperature and set schedules directly on the device, Google says, but you will not be able to control anything with the Nest app or Google Assistant.

Support ends on Oct. 25, 2025. No other devices are affected ...
