Big Changes for Nest Thermostat Users: What You Need to Know and How We Can Help

Nest thermostat no longer supporting app control for generation 1 and 2

Big Changes for Nest Thermostat Users: What You Need to Know and How We Can Help

If you’re using a 1st or 2nd generation Nest Learning Thermostat, you may have already heard the news—or even felt the impact: Google is ending support for app-based control and other smart features on these older devices starting 2024. That means no more adjusting the temperature from your phone, no more smart learning features, and no more remote energy monitoring.

For many homeowners, those features were the reason to get a Nest thermostat in the first place.

So, What’s Changing?

Google announced that older Nest Learning Thermostats (Gen 1 and Gen 2, released in 2011 and 2012) will no longer work with the Nest app or Google Home app. While the thermostat will still physically work to control your heating and cooling system, you’ll lose:

  • Remote temperature control via phone or tablet

  • Integration with Google Assistant and smart home routines

  • Scheduling and learning features through the app

  • Energy reports and optimization features

Why Is This Happening?

As technology evolves, companies like Google shift resources to support newer products with better security, performance, and integration. Unfortunately, that leaves early adopters with limited functionality and a tough decision to make: keep an outdated thermostat or upgrade.
