The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) is Google’s smartest, most advanced thermostat yet. It’s a brilliant way to save energy and keep your home comfortable. It learns the temperatures you like, when you like them, even as your routine changes.¹ It gets to know how outdoor temps naturally heat and cool your home to save energy.¹ And it helps make sure your heating and cooling systems run smoothly.²
- Improved compatibility.: It works with most 24V systems, including gas, electric, oil, forced air, heat pump, and radiant, and no C wire is required for installation in most homes.³
- Better visibility into adjustments.: Smart Schedule learns the temps you like, and when you like them. It asks for permission to make schedule changes to help you save energy. You'll receive notifications in the Google Home app, and you can view and accept changes with a tap.¹

- Savings you can count on.: The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) can help save an average of 12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling bills.⁷
- New natural heating and cooling.: Your thermostat learns how the temperature outside affects the temperature inside (for example, when the sun coming through the windows will heat the house naturally) and pauses your system to help you save.¹
- New Adaptive Eco.: It uses the temperature outside to help find an energy-saving temperature when you’re away and returns to a comfortable temperature within an hour of your return.¹
- Looks out for your heating and cooling system.: System Health Monitor helps catch many issues early. And if something needs attention, it can send an alert.⁸
- Your HVAC heads-up.: When it’s time to change your air filter, you’ll get an alert based on actual use.⁸ And you’ll get seasonal maintenance reminders.
- Smart is in the air.: To save energy, smart ventilation brings in fresh air when outdoor air quality is healthy and most efficient, like when temps are mildest.¹,⁹

A: Hi there, thank you for your inquiry. The new Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) does not require a sensor to function properly. However, for optimal temperature control and comfort, we strongly recommend using a sensor. You may also place the Google Nest Temperature Sensor in a different room to monitor and control the temperature in that specific area.
A: Hi Sparkz. Thanks for your inquiry. The Nest Learning Thermostat 4th Gen requires a specific mounting bracket and wire harness that's different from previous models. Please use the ones included with your new thermostat.
A: Hey there. The Nest Learning Thermostat 4th generation typically activates the AC or heat when the ambient temperature deviates from the set point by a small margin. This margin is often around 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit. It's important to note that this can vary slightly depending on factors like the specific settings on your thermostat, the efficiency of your HVAC system, and environmental conditions.
Q: Is it compatible with apple homekit ?
A: Yes, it is finally compatible with Apple HomeKit using Matter.

Wish I'd bought these sooner
Being a non-handy new home-owner I had it in my head that replacing my legacy smart thermostats - which I could never get to work properly - would require the help of a professional so I just kept putting it off and suffering the cost and comfort consequences. Finally, seeing the headlines about the 4th gen Nest got me to do a quick google and sure enough it seemed my wiring would be compatible AND that I could even do it myself. So I bought one Nest, followed the instructions and within maybe 35 minutes had it up and running. It was so easy to install, and also to program! The very next day I bought my second one (which I was able to install in at most 15 minutes). Plus two sensors. Two weeks in, everything is working exactly as it should. And they look beautiful and the weather forecast display is genuinely useful. Tremendous!

Looks amazing
This new gen of nest looks sleek and I love the details on the screen. Easy to install the only thing is you need to use the google home app to control it not the nest app.

Simple, easy, and worth every penny!
This is one of the best smart thermostats I’ve ever bought and used. I installed it myself, and it was very easy and straight forward to follow the directions to install. As an added bonus, this is compatible with my security system, so I can create custom scenes utilizing these two things together (such as automatic temperature changes when leaving/arriving). Im also a fan of being able to track our HVAC usage. A new feature with this is the secondary sensor which has been nice to have, and has all sorts of convenient benefits. Overall VERY happy with this. Ive had my thermostat about a month now with no issues.
