It’s over. The European Adventure of Google thermostats It reaches its end. The company has revealed that the Google Nest Thermostat terminals will not continue in Europe. No more models will be launched and, not only that, since the first versions will be obsolete. What does that mean for people who have one of these devices installed in your home?
Support end
Google Nest Learning devices of first and second generation thermostats that helped change the day -to -day life of many people, will become obsolete. It will be on October 25 of this year 2025, date from which three versions They will no longer receive more updates. They will be the Nest Learning Thermostat models of first generation, launched in 2011, the second generation Nest Learning Thermostat, launched in 2012, and the Nest Learning Thermostat second generation in its European version. This last model was marketed in 2014 and marked trends. Since then more than 10 years have passed and Google believes that it is time to say goodbye.
The problem is not only that they will be devices that will not be updated again, but, as Google has confirmed, all its Smart functions will be eliminated. This implies that We cannot continue controlling them with the mobile phone and that its compatibility with Google Assistant will disappear. Will the devices stop working? Actually, no. They will continue to function as a normal thermostat, allowing to adjust the temperature or programming from the device, but without having any advanced SMART type function.
For what Google has mentioned, with the European model any routine that we have stored in the thermostat will continue to function as it has done so far. In that sense you would not have to worry about anything. However, the company is aware that, for many users, it will mean a problem. Therefore, will offer a 50% discount In the purchase of a Thermostat X – Starter Kit tado. This thermostat device is also compatible with Google Home, so the effect on its use will be in the same line as what the Google Nest Thermostat has offered so far.
What happens to the other models?
Google reassures the community and says that all other Google Nest thermostats They will continue working Smart. Not only can they continue to be used efficiently, but they will also be integrated into the Google Home application. However, it is to imagine that, sooner or later, they will also lose support and that will cease to be available, although it may not happen soon.
In this regard, the company has said that the Google Nest Thermostat E models of 2018 and Google Nest Learning Thermostat of third generation of 2015 will continue to be sold in Europe. Of course, alone Until the available stock is finished. At the time there are no more units, they will disappear. In this sense, the company follows the same path as with the Chromecast, whose disappearance was also seen as the available units were depleted.
Along with this, Google has confirmed that they will not launch more Google Nest Thermostat models in Europe. They explain that Europe heating systems are different and mention that There are too many requirements both software and hardware that they have to meet in order to sell their equipment. Because of this, it is a constant challenge that they are not willing to face. From Google Home they will support many other thermostats available in Europe with Smart technology, but they have preferred to leave the market in a definitive way.
