Nest Thermostat Review: Same Smarts, New Unintuitive Hardware Share
Google introduced yet another new Nest smart thermostat this year, simply called the
Nest Thermostat. If you aren’t keep track, this is technically the fifth model to be released since the original was launched in 2011.
Priced at $129, Google highlights this particular model as a great option for conserving energy, integrating the thermostat into your home’s schedule, and controlling it from the Google Home app. To that last point, all of the Nest devices are moving away from needing the standalone Nest app, and instead, you’ll control this thermostat entirely from Google Home. I’ll talk about whether that’s cool in a moment.
