Just in time for winter, a bundle including the fourth-generation Google Nest Learning Thermostat and a second-generation Nest temperature sensor is $70 off at Walmart. That brings the price down to $209.55 (originally $279.99). The smart thermostat allows you to customize your home’s heating and cooling schedule with AI, conserving energy and ensuring consistent temperatures throughout your entire home.
This fourth-generation Nest thermostat offers several updates from its predecessor, including support for Matter, which allows compatibility with a wide range of smart home ecosystems (though it doesn’t support Thread). According to this PCMag review , it’s simple to install, comes with a remote room sensor, and uses AI to learn preferences and create a customized heating and cooling schedule that adjusts as your routine changes—though you can also manually make changes and reject suggested tweaks.
It has a larger display than the previous generation (2.7 inches with a 600×600 pixel resolution, compared to 2.1 inches with a 480×480 pixel resolution) with a thin stainless steel ring that allows you to scroll through menu options and adjust temperature settings or switch between modes like Comfort, Eco, and Sleep. The thermostat works with most 24V heating and cooling systems and includes ambient light, humidity, motion, and temperature sensors. You can control it via the Google Home app or Google Assistant voice commands.
This model also has a new version of Nest’s Farsight technology, which uses a motion sensor to turn on the display when you enter the room and adapts what’s shown based on how far away you are from the thermostat, showing more details as you get closer. Unlike more feature-rich options like the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium , it can’t detect air quality or double as a home security hub when paired with sensors and cameras.
Ultimately, this bundle —currently around 25% off—is worth it if you’re seeking a smart thermostat with a large display, a stylish aesthetic, and remote room sensing. If you value design and simplicity over maximum features, it’s a better choice than the Ecobee Smart Thermostat Premium.
