A smart thermostat is a fantastic way to control the temperature in your home from afar, as well as make it more convenient to control the climate in your house. If you’re looking for one that works well with your Google Home, you have a couple of options.
Nest Learning Thermostat ($249)
Since Nest is owned by Google, it makes sense that the Nest Thermostat works great for the Google Home, and it’s one of the best smart thermostats, period.
Just from looking at it, it has a fantastic design that looks great in any home—the circular frame and display make it stick out from the rest of the competition and gives it a really sharp look that combines the classic dial-thermostat design with smart home chops.
The Nest app is also really easy to use too, so if smarthome technology is new to you, Nest makes it surprisingly easy to dip to your toes in without much trouble. And its integration with Google Home devices makes it easy to control the thermostat using your voice—you can do things like adjust the temperature, go into away mode, or just ask what the current temperature is in the room.
The Nest Thermostat comes with all the key features you’d want from a smart thermostat, including setting schedules, adjusting the temperature from your phone, room sensors, auto-away mode, and more. But perhaps the most unique feature is its ability to learn how you adjust your thermostat throughout the day, so that eventually it will just adjust the temperature for you.
Furthermore, the Nest Thermostat is a better bet going forward, since Nest has all sorts of other smarthome products that its thermostat can integrate with. So if you’re just now building up your smarthome and want to stick to Google’s ecosystem, the Nest Thermostat is the best option.
Budget Option: Nest Thermostat E ($169)
