The Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th generation) is the original learning home-AI device, redesigned in 2024. It builds a heating and cooling schedule from your habits and adjusts to occupancy, and Google's retail SKU ships with one Temperature Sensor. The one thing to know is that it is built for North American HVAC systems.

Does the Nest Learning Thermostat still make sense?

  • Priced around $279 per the listing's pricing line.
  • Auto-scheduling and remote control from the Google Home app; the bundled sensor lets it target an occupied room.
  • Energy savings depend on your HVAC habits and climate; treat any figure as an estimate.
  • Google-first households get the deepest integration.

For Apple Home users, the ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium is the natural alternative. Browse smart home and robotics.

Who should skip it

Anyone outside the US or Canada, or with heating that does not use standard 24V wiring, should not buy it. The Pro Edition and refurbished units are separate listings.
