Google has reimagined its Nest Learning Thermostat, introducing a 4th generation model that boasts a larger display, improved AI for energy efficiency, and a redesigned Nest Temperature Sensor. This new thermostat can learn your temperature preferences and automatically adjust settings based on your patterns, the weather, and even potential HVAC issues.

The Nest Learning Thermostat has always been known for its intelligent features, and this latest iteration takes it a step further. It uses advanced AI to make precise micro-adjustments to your temperature settings while optimizing energy savings. The Smart Schedule feature learns your preferred temperatures and adjusts accordingly, while also taking into account external factors like weather conditions.

In addition to its smart features, the Nest Learning Thermostat has received a design upgrade. It now boasts a sleek, slim profile with a larger domed crystal LCD display that's 60% bigger than the previous generation. The thermostat is available in three finishes—Polished Silver, Polished Obsidian, and Polished Gold—to complement any home interior.

The redesigned Nest Temperature Sensor, included with the thermostat, helps manage hot and cold spots in your home. You can add up to six sensors for enhanced control and flexibility, even specifying which sensors are active at different times of the day. The sensor itself has a discreet, pebble-like design that blends seamlessly into any room.

The Nest Learning Thermostat also includes a System Health Monitor feature that tracks your HVAC system's performance, alerting you to potential problems that may require attention. A new Smart Ventilation feature ensures fresh air intake when outdoor air quality is good and pauses ventilation when air quality is poor or temperatures are extreme.

Google has made it easy to install and set up the Nest Learning Thermostat, and it can be controlled through the Google Home app, allowing integration with other compatible smart home devices. The thermostat is also Matter-certified, enabling control through other Matter-compatible apps.
