Older Nest thermostats just unlocked a long-awaited trick in the Google Home app


Google Nest thermostat users just got a fresh upgrade they’ll actually want to try.

It's rolling out first to owners of the older Nest thermostats in the U.S. and UK, finally addressing one of the biggest shortcomings in Google’s smart home setup. You’ll see brighter colors and clearer labels for heating and cooling, as well as a redesigned energy dashboard that now includes more detailed stats and weekly year-over-year comparisons.
