Google has announced the discontinuation of support for the Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 1 (released in 2011) and Gen 2 (released in 2012) effective October 25, 2025.
Following this end of support, Nest Thermostats will no longer receive any updates and cannot be controlled via the Nest app on smartphones or through Google Assistant. However, they can still be operated directly on the device itself.
The latest model in the Nest Thermostat lineup, Gen 4, was introduced in 2024. Google is offering a $130 discount coupon for existing customers to purchase the Gen 4 as a replacement if desired.
We may be accustomed to seeing smart home devices gradually lose support, but in this case, the Nest Thermostat holds significance as the first product by Nest before it was acquired by Google in 2014. This announcement marks the end of an era for a product that was once an icon in the smart home industry.
TLDR: Google has discontinued support for Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 1 and Gen 2, with Gen 4 being the latest model available for purchase. This marks the end of an era for a pioneering product in the smart home industry.
