Google Home adds scheduling for older Nest thermostats
Google has announced that users of the US and UK versions of the 3rd gen Nest Learning Thermostat and the Nest Thermostat E can now schedule temperature adjustments using the Google Home app. Newer versions of the Nest thermostats already allow you to manually set schedules in the Home app, but those older models required users to keep the dedicated Nest app installed for scheduling.
Google says the feature “began rolling out starting last week” so it may not yet be available to all Nest thermostat users yet. The company originally announced the expanded Google Home support for the older Nest models last April after revealing that it would also end software updates for the first-generation Nest Learning thermostat that launched in 2011, and the second generation model that was released a year later.
Existing temperature schedules in the Nest app are transferred over to the Home app, which also allows sensor and fan schedules to be set. Today Google also announced other improvements to its Home app for all Nest thermostats including more vibrant colors and updated descriptions making it easier to see the device’s heating and cooling state, and a refreshed energy dashboard with more details and a weekly comparison of year-over-year energy usage.
