They will lose the connection and the company will not bring more models

Great changes in Nest, and not necessarily for good. After announcing that two Nest devices were going to be discontinued, Google has taken the next step and announced the Disconnection of ancient Nest thermostatsin addition to the almost complete abandonment of the European market.

Starting with the worst news, Google is going to Remove the Nest Learning Thermostat Support Viejos; Specifically, the devices that will be abandoned will be those of first generation, second generation, and second generation in its European version. The Nest Learning Thermostat are currently in the third generation (the fourth was not launched in Spain), so users who bought one of these devices recently have nothing to fear, at least for the moment.

However, if we have a second generation or previous nest nest Learning lose most of its functions. Basically, these devices will be disconnected from the Internet, and therefore, they will not be able to access the functions that require a connection to Google servers. That means that they will not be able to use any of the intelligent or distance control functions, and will become ‘dumb’ thermostats that can only be controlled in person.

In this way, these Nest Learning Thermostat will disappear from the Google Home and Nest apps, they cannot be controlled at a distance or when we are away from home with the smartphone, they will stop working with Google Assistant, and will not support the function that the presence of people feel to activate the air conditioning or can learn from our habits. The devices will continue to control the temperature, and We can keep using them manually In the device itself, including schedules configuration, but that means that it will behave as a cheap conventional thermostat.

Google will end the Nest Learning Thermostat support the next October 25, 2025date from which it will stop offering updates to these devices and these will be disconnected from the network. Affected users will receive an email that will inform them of the changes, along with a small gift as compensation: a discount for the purchase of a new intelligent thermostat of the Tado brand.

Indeed, Google does not want Spanish users to buy another Nest thermostat to replace the one they will lose, for the second great announcement: Google will leave the thermostat market in Spain and Europe. That means that the Nest Learning Thermostat of third generation and the Nest Thermostat E will be the last devices that the company will offer for temperature control in Spain, and will only be available until the end of stock.

Google has justified the decision by the great variety of heating systems that there are in Europe, and that force the company to adapt its devices to different hardware and software requirements. That is the reason why the Nest Learning Thermostat of fourth generation was not launched in Spain when it was announced in 2024, because it would have required a greater investment of the company to adapt it to European systems.

This decision, and the recent announcement of the end of several Nest devices, shows that Google is reducing its commitment to the smart home. However, the company has been quick to clarify that will launch other smart devices in Spain In the coming months and years, putting as an example the new Google TV Streamer.
