The Google Nest Learning Thermostat earns its place in any smart home by doing something genuinely useful: it learns your schedule and adjusts automatically, cutting energy use when the house is empty without any programming required. The Home/Away Assist feature uses your phone's location to detect when no one's home. Works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.
