The recently launched Google Nest Learning Thermostat has its first notable discount, as Wellbots is offering it in all three color options for $259.99 ($20 off) with checkout code NLT4VERGE. Google took nearly nine years to replace the last model with this sleeker, Pixel Watch-looking design, but you only had to wait about a month and a half to save a few bucks.

The new Nest isn’t just a prettier face, as it also brings Matter and Apple Home support — making it more flexible if you don’t want to solely live in Google’s smart home ecosystem. As indicated by its name, the Learning Thermostat familiarizes itself with your habits and preferences for how to heat and cool your home and starts to anticipate your needs to keep you comfy and potentially save money on your monthly utility bill. The new thermo also brings with it a second-gen Temperature Sensor, with one included and additional units offered for $39.99. The sensor can help pay special attention to certain rooms that run a little hot or cold, allowing your HVAC to better accommodate the comfort level in there.
