Google Ends Support for 1st and 2nd Nest Thermostats in 2025

If you have one of the original Nest Thermostats, you should know this.

In a move that has disappointed many smart home users, Google has announced that support for the 2014 European model and the 1st (2011) and 2nd (2012) generation Nest Learning Thermostats will end on October 25, 2025. After this date, users will no longer have access to cloud services, software updates, or the ability to control their devices through their phones or Google Home application or possibly through Gemini. However, users will still be able to set the temperature and schedule on the thermostat using the screen.

Google has confirmed that it will stop the launch of new Nest thermostats in Europe. Still, it will continue selling the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd Gen, 2015) and the Nest Thermostat E (2018) until stock finishes. Google said that heating systems in Europe are highly diverse, with different hardware and software requirements, making it difficult to develop new models for the region.

The good news is that these existing models will continue to receive security updates and can still be controlled with the Nest and Google Home apps.If you have one of these devices from google, you might be wondering what this means for your smart home setup. In this blog post, I’ll break down:
