Leaked

show
a
fourth-generation
Nest
Learning
Thermostat
and
new
temperature
sensors,
as
well
as
several
other
thermostats:
Nest
E,
Nest
Learning
Thermostat
(3rd
Gen).
Missing
from
the
pictures
is
the
Nest
Thermostat
(2020),
presumably
because
it’s
not
compatible
with
Nest’s
room
sensors.
The
new
addition
looks
similar
to
the
third-generation
model
but
appears
to
have
a
more
curved
display
while
retaining
the
physical
dial,
as
pointed
out
by
9to5Google.
The
display
is
likely
a
touchscreen,
as
with
the
third-generation
model,
and
the
image
shows
a
new
icon
with
three
wavy
lines.
This
indicates
that
the
new
thermostat
is
also
an
indoor
air
quality
monitor,
which
would
be
a
new
feature
for
Nest
thermostats.
A
leaked
screenshot
of
the
Google
Home
app
with
a
new
Climate
screen
backs
up
this
theory
by
showing
an
air
quality
index
score.

Since
the
Nest
E,
which
has
been
discontinued
in
the
US,
is
pictured,
this
could
indicate
that,
unlike
the
Nest
Thermostat
(2020),
the
new
model
will
also
launch
in
Europe.
The
thermostat
appears
to
work
with
a
redesigned
Nest
Temperature
Sensor
(second-gen),
which,
like
the
current
models,
is
wall-mountable
or
can
be
placed
on
a
table.
However,
it
doesn’t
have
the
Nest
branding
at
this
time
and
is
rounder
and
squishier-looking.
The
posts
indicate
that
these
will
cost
$39
each,
or
three
for
$99,
and
have
a
three-year
battery
life.
That’s
the
same
price
as
the
current
sensors,
which
feed
the
temperature
from
other
rooms
of
your
house
to
the
thermostat
to
help
balance
heating
and
cooling.
But
as
we
said
in
our
review,
they
are
limited
compared
to
those
from
competitors
like
Ecobee,
as
they
don’t
detect
presence.
Hopefully
these
new
versions
will
bring
more
function.
The
new
temperature
sensors
appear
to
be
more
rounded,
almost
marshmallow-like.

9to5Google
has
dug
up
FCC
filings
showing
the
new
thermostat
may
sport
Google’s
Soli
radar,
used
to
light
up
the
thermostat’s
display
when
you
approach
it,
and
detect
presence
to
feed
into
Google’s
Home
&
Away
Routines.
Soli
is
in
the Nest
Thermostat (2020)
but
not
in
the
third-gen
Nest
Learning
Thermostat
from
2015,
which
uses
motion
sensors.
The
FCC
filings
didn’t
indicate
a
Thread
radio
in
the
thermostat,
which
would
be
surprising
considering
Thread
was
developed
for
the
original
Nest
thermostat,
although
the
2020
model
doesn’t
have
it,
either.

It's
been
a
long
time
since
Google
launched
a
new
Learning
Thermostat,
which
can
adapt
to
your
heating
and
cooling
patterns
instead
of
mainly
sticking
to
a
schedule,
as
the
newer,
cheaper
Nest
Thermostat
does.
The
current
Nest
Learning
Thermostat
has
been
on
sale
for
$169
(down
from
$249)
for
a
while
now.
It
also
doesn’t
support
Matter,
the
smart
home
standard
Google
is
a
big
part
of,
while
the
cheaper
Nest
Thermostat
does.
With
a
big
Google
hardware
event
scheduled
for
August
13th,
we
will
find
out
soon
enough
if
these
leaks
are
genuine.
The
new
Nest
Temperature
Sensors
appear
to
have
similar
features
to
the
current
versions.Image:
