For the new Nest Learning Thermostat, the Google Home app launches a new page for controlling the temperature and other settings. And as it turns out, that may apply to older models as well.
The new Google Home UI for the Nest Learning Thermostat more closely mirrors the thermostat UI within the Home app itself. Details are then displayed below including heating or cooling controls, the current indoor temperature and humidity, and more.
While it would be reasonable to assume that the new UI would only be available for the updated model, it appears that is not the case.
People in Android Police I noticed On the older generation Nest Thermostat, the updated Google Home app UI suddenly appeared. It’s not mentioned what kind of thermostat it is, but it’s from the old Nest app, so it’s not the 2020 model that sells for $129. Our best guess based on the UI is that this is a Nest Thermostat E.
Along with the updated Controls page, the temperature controls on the Favorites page have been updated with a larger design that includes the ability to adjust the temperature without going into the full Controls page.
We don’t see this change on our end, and there are no other reports yet. If you do see this update, let us know in the comments below.
Google’s new Nest Learning Thermostat is… Available now for pre-order for $279. Ships later this month.
