PSA: Don’t toss away your old Nest Thermostat yet — it just got thrown a li

TL;DR

• Earlier this year, Google announced it would end support for the first- and second-generation Nest Learning Thermostat on October 25, 2025.
• These thermostats can still be used, but you can no longer control them remotely, receive notifications, check the status in the Nest or Home app, or change settings from a mobile device.
• One Reddit user says they’re building a website/local server to restore these functions, and they may even build a mobile app if there’s enough traction.

One of the biggest flaws with the concept of smart homes is planned obsolescence. That’s exactly what happened to the first- and second-generation Nest Learning Thermostat last week. But don’t throw your thermostat away just yet. It can still be used, and it may not stay dumb for long.
