While everyone is paying attention to the cool new stuff being exhibited at CES at this very moment, there are some good deals to be had on devices that are already available but equally cool. For example, the 4th-gen Google Nest Learning Thermostat, which our reviewer called “a stunner,” is now available for $229.99 at Amazon, and a couple of dollars less (depending on which color you choose) at Walmart, a savings of about $50.
The Google Nest Learning Thermostat debuted in December 2024, has a beautifully designed screen with a large, easy-to-see display, and offers a myriad of smart features. For example, it automatically adjusts your heating and cooling schedule based on how you use it. Besides temperature, time, date, and weather, it will show you the outdoor air quality index score, something that many of us would welcome. It offers what are called Smart Schedules, allowing you to create presets that will adjust automatically as your schedule and the seasons change. And it can work with any smart home platform that supports Matter. Read our review.
