Google Home App Brings Temperature Scheduling to Gen 3 and Thermostat E. Old Nest

Old Nest app schedules won’t transfer automatically to Google Home.

Overview

  • On August 14, Google started rolling out the long-awaited scheduling feature for Gen 3 and Thermostat E devices in the Google Home app.
  • This update eliminates the final scheduling limitation that forced users to stick with the Nest app.
  • There’s no timetable for full rollout, and the feature currently appears only for some users.
  • In April, Google ended software support for first- and second-generation Nest thermostats while sparing Gen 3 and E models and promoting upgrades to its fourth-generation hardware.
  • The company has paused new Nest thermostat launches in Europe, reflecting adjustments to its regional product strategy.
