Nest Thermostat (4th Gen, Mirror Finish).
Mirror-finish Nest with Matter support and Google Home integration — the Learning Thermostat's cosmetics without the radar display or learning algorithm.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The aesthetic budget pick for Google-Home homes that don't need multi-room sensors. Looks better than anything else under $150 by a mile. Step up to the Learning Thermostat if you want learning, or to the Ecobee Premium if you want SmartSensors.”
