Don't throw away your old, unsupported Nest gadgets — Do this instead
Google stopped supporting first- and second-gen Nest Learning Thermostats in 2025, but you may be able to still find use in yours or trade it in to upgrade.
AI Summary
Google ended support for Nest’s first‑ and second‑generation Learning Thermostats in October 2025, cutting off their connection to Google’s apps and stopping software updates. The thermostats can still be operated directly on the device, including their auto‑schedule functions, but they no longer receive any cloud‑based features. Google responded by offering discounted upgrades to the fourth‑generation Learning Thermostat, though the incentive may not appeal to users who prefer to stay with their existing hardware.
