Google Home adds scheduling for older Nest thermostats
Briefly

Google has made it possible for users of the 3rd gen Nest Learning Thermostat and Nest Thermostat E in the US and UK to schedule temperature adjustments directly through the Google Home app. Previously, these tasks required the Nest app. This feature started rolling out last week and may not be available to all users yet. Existing schedules from the Nest app automatically transfer to the Home app, which also supports setting sensor and fan schedules. Additional improvements to the Home app include a vibrant visual update and a weekly energy usage dashboard.
Google has announced that users of the US and UK versions of the 3rd gen Nest Learning Thermostat and the Nest Thermostat E can now schedule temperature adjustments using the Google Home app, allowing for easier scheduling without needing the dedicated Nest app.
Existing temperature schedules in the Nest app are transferred over to the Home app, which also allows sensor and fan schedules to be set, enhancing user convenience.
The company originally announced the expanded Google Home support for older Nest models last April and indicated the end of software updates for first-generation Nest Learning thermostats.
Google also announced improvements to its Home app for all Nest thermostats, including more vibrant colors, updated descriptions, and an enhanced energy dashboard with detailed comparisons of energy usage.
