Google has announced that it will stop offering software updates for the first and second-generation Nest Learning Thermostats. This change affects the models released in 2011, 2012, and a version made for the consumers in Europe, released in 2014. Furthermore, the company is also pulling Nest Thermostats out of the European market entirely, citing “unique” heating challenges. Google is offering discounts to affected Nest users on the newer models.

Google will discontinue releasing software updates for early Nest Learning Thermostats in October 2025

In a blog post, Google said that starting October 25, 2025, the 1st-gen (2011) and 2nd-gen (2012) Nest Learning Thermostat will not be receiving any new software updates. Essentially, you won’t be able to control these devices remotely from your smartphone or Google Assistant. However, you can still adjust the desired temperature and modify schedules directly on the thermostat.

Furthermore, Google said that the existing schedules on your Nest Learning Thermostats will continue to operate as usual. Additionally, this change will not affect any other Nest Thermostat models, which will continue to receive software updates. Later this year, you will also be able to create and adjust schedules for your thermostat devices in the Google Home app for the first time.

Talking about Europe, Google said that the Nest Learning Thermostat (2nd-gen, Europe version, 2014) will no longer receive software updates. It will continue selling the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd-gen, 2015) and Nest Thermostat E (2018) in Europe while current supplies last. Moving forward, the company won’t launch new Nest thermostat models in the market.

Google is offering a discount of $130 on the 4th-gen models

In an attempt to ease the anger of the impacted users, Google is offering a discount of $130 on the 4th-gen Nest Learning Thermostat in the US. It is providing $160 off on the same product in Canada. For European users, there’s a discount of 50 percent on the Tado Smart Thermostat X-Starter Kit, which users can set up alongside their other smart home appliances in the Google Home app.

Google is contacting the Nest Learning Thermostat (1st and 2nd-gen) owners via email with more details. The emails also contain a personalized link that contains the special discounted offers on the 4th-gen Nest Learning Thermostat.
