Google's newest Nest Thermostat costs only $130

Nest changed the thermostat market forever when it introduced the Nest Learning Thermostat nearly a decade ago. The third generation of that product, introduced in 2015, is still one of the best smart thermostats you can buy, but many people recoil from its $249 price tag. The Nest Thermostat E, introduced in 2017, is pretty great, too, but it costs $169 and is still out of reach for some. Today, Nest announces an even more affordable device: the Nest Thermostat. Nest says its Energy Star-rated Nest Thermostat will suggest temperature presets via the Google Home app for when you're home, when you're away, and when you're sleeping, balancing comfort with energy savings.
