- Google is finally starting to roll out the long-awaited temperature scheduling features for the 3rd Gen and E Nest thermostats in the Google Home app.
- This addresses the last major reason many users were forced to keep using the old Nest app, which was previously required for this function.
- While the new feature is now live for some, users should note that the functionality is a bit glitchy at the moment. Fortunately, simply clearing the cache of the Home app seems to fix problems.
Update 1, August 18, 2025 (3:27 PM ET): Google has now officially announced the roll out of full scheduling capabilities for older Nest Thermostats in the Google Home app. This functionality started rolling out last week, as we first reported, and it’s hitting the following four models:
- Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd gen
- Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd gen (UK/EU)
- Nest Thermostat E
- Nest Thermostat E (UK/EU)
Google has confirmed that your existing schedules from the Nest app will carry over to the Home app. Furthermore, the company has also mentioned that it has made a couple of other improvements across its Nest thermostat lineup. This includes making it easier to see your thermostat’s heating and cooling state in the Home app as well as a refreshed energy dashboard that shows separate totals for heating and cooling, a breakdown of usage by state and heating type, and a weekly year-over-year comparison of your monthly energy usage.
