[6]Adjustments only shift electricity usage from your heating and cooling. Review: Mandatory standard Thermostat for all homes - Great product. Need to program it or else it will set to eco mode and leave the house at 76 degrees when the phone leaves the house even though people are still there. My AC stopped working due to that the thermostat (cheap brand the builder put in) stopped working. Follow instructions and you’ll be fine. Review: Great smart thermostat - I’ve been extremely happy with my Nest thermostat so far. The setup was straightforward, and the app makes it really convenient to control the temperature from anywhere. One of my favorite features is how it learns your schedule over time and automatically adjusts to keep the house comfortable without constantly needing manual changes. I also noticed it helps keep the temperature much more consistent throughout the day, and it gives me peace of mind being able to check and adjust everything remotely when I’m away from home. The energy usage reports are a nice bonus too because they help you understand how to save on electricity without sacrificing comfort. Overall, it feels like one of those smart home upgrades that actually makes everyday life easier. Clean design, reliable performance, and worth the investment. ## Features - ENERGY STAR certified smart thermostat for home that helps you save energy and stay comfortable.Requirements : Compatible HVAC system, Wi-Fi internet connection, Phone or tablet (iOS or Android), Google Home app.Product note: You can also check your system’s compatibility before purchasing a Nest thermostat with our online Nest Compatibility Checker on the Google Nest support page - The Nest Thermostat is designed to work without a C wire in most homes, but for some systems, including heating only, cooling only, zone controlled, and heat pump systems, you’ll need a C wire or other compatible power accessory - Nest Thermostat turns itself down when you leave, so you don’t waste energy heating or cooling an empty home - Programmable thermostat that lets you create an energy efficient schedule in the Google Home app on your Android or iPhone - Remote control lets family members change the thermostat temperature from anywhere on a phone, laptop, or tablet[1] - Savings Finder looks for more ways your thermostat can help you save, and suggests tweaks to your schedule in the app; check with your energy provider to learn more about rebates and more ways to save on a Nest thermostat - Smart thermostat with HVAC monitoring, which looks out for your heating and cooling systems; sends an alert if something doesn’t seem right, along with helpful reminders to make maintenance easier[2] - Control Nest Thermostat with Google Home and other smart home platforms.

Need to program it or else it will set to eco mode and leave the house at 76 degrees when the phone leaves the house even though people are still there. My AC stopped working due to that the thermostat (cheap brand the builder put in) stopped working. Follow instructions and you’ll be fine. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great smart thermostat *by J***A on May 26, 2026* I’ve been extremely happy with my Nest thermostat so far. The setup was straightforward, and the app makes it really convenient to control the temperature from anywhere. One of my favorite features is how it learns your schedule over time and automatically adjusts to keep the house comfortable without constantly needing manual changes. I also noticed it helps keep the temperature much more consistent throughout the day, and it gives me peace of mind being able to check and adjust everything remotely when I’m away from home. The energy usage reports are a nice bonus too because they help you understand how to save on electricity without sacrificing comfort. Overall, it feels like one of those smart home upgrades that actually makes everyday life easier. Clean design, reliable performance, and worth the investment. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple, Smart, and Easy to Control *by D***L on July 12, 2026* This thermostat has a clean, modern design and is easy to control through the Google Home app. The scheduling and remote temperature adjustments are very convenient, and the Snow color blends nicely with most walls. It does not include the cosmetic wall cover and cannot connect to a separate Nest temperature sensor. Because my landlord’s furnace was very old, I also had to request a free Nest Power Connector, but Google shipped it quickly and it was easy to install. Overall, it is still a practical and worthwhile smart-home upgrade, plus you get rebates for installing it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Google Nest Thermostat - Smart Thermostat for Home - Programmable Wifi Thermostat - Sand - Google Nest Thermostat Trim Kit - Made for the Nest Thermostat - Programmable Wifi Thermostat Accessory - Sand - POPMAS Nest Thermostat Wall Plate - Compatible With Google Nest Thermostat 2020, Sand Metal Trim Plate, Cover Plate Trim Kit Accessory --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/235304171-google-nest-thermostat-smart-thermostat-for-home-programmable-wifi-thermostat](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/235304171-google-nest-thermostat-smart-thermostat-for-home-programmable-wifi-thermostat) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
