Getting to know the Nest Thermostat E<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s current consumer lineup focuses on two models sold directly: the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd gen)<\/a> and the Nest Thermostat (2020)<\/a>. The Nest Thermostat E is a legacy option that\u2019s no longer on the Google Store; it typically appears via professional installer channels, refurb\/clearance, or select third\u2011party retailers (Google\u2019s compare page<\/a>). The key tradeoffs remain: Learning adds Auto\u2011Schedule and premium hardware; the 2020 model emphasizes app\u2011based scheduling and broad ecosystem control (including Matter<\/a>). The E retains a frosted display and works with the Nest Temperature Sensor<\/a>, like the Learning model. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
