Back in March we featured the first generation of Nest, “The World’s First Learning Thermostat”. Since then the Nest team has been super busy adding even more value and features to the already brilliant product.
“We always wanted to make the best thermostat in the world. And within minutes of launching the first Nest Learning Thermostat less than a year ago, the amazing reviews, requests and feedback came pouring in. We listened to what you said and saw what more we could do. We could make the best thermostat in the world better.”
What’s New?
A brief summary of improvements include:
- 20 percent slimmer than the previous model
