Google announces end of support for 1st and 2nd gen Nest Thermostats — what you need to know
Tom's Guide

Google's announcement notes that the older thermostats won't become bricks pasted to your wall even after support comes to an end. When software updates and Google cloud service access ends on October 25, 2025, those of you with a 1st or 2nd generation Nest won't be able to control the Thermostat via the Google Home app or Assistant.

Essentially, your older Nest thermostat will become a dumb thermostat with a nice screen to control temperature and scheduling.

Google says that it will reach out via email with deals for those who are rocking the old thermostats. In the United States, Google is offering a $130 discount for upgrading to the fourth generation Nest, which normally costs $280. For our Canadian neighbors, the discount is CA$160 off.

Unfortunately, for those in Europe, there hasn't been a new Nest there in at least a decade. And according to Google, there are no plans to release a new Nest thermostat in that region. So the European 2nd generation Nest Learning Thermostat is the most recent model, with its support ending in October.

Google actually recommends seeking out a third-party device that is compatible with Google Home.
