Overview

• Google says all Nest Thermostat models released since 2015 can now be fully controlled in the Google Home app, removing the need to use the Nest app for thermostat management.
• European users are getting hot water boost and scheduling for compatible On/Off boilers, plus Heat Link temperature and hot water temperature settings for OpenTherm2/combi systems, with an easy‑access Eco button also coming.
• Expanded fullscreen controls are arriving for non‑thermostat climate devices such as mini‑splits, window ACs, and smart heaters when they use Matter or Works With Google Home.
• Interface updates include pinning outdoor weather and AQI tiles in Favorites, showing outdoor temperature on the thermostat page, streamlined settings, and a fix for controls that appeared to jump after temperature changes.
• Google says these changes will roll out over the coming weeks and follow its pause on new Nest thermostat hardware in Europe and its plan to end software support for first‑ and second‑generation models on October 25, 2025.
