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.
