Nest Is Being Phased Out! How Summit Can Help You Stay Protected?

Here’s What You Need to Know to Keep Your Home & Family Safe

Google is officially winding down support for several Nest devices, and if you've been depending on them to keep your home comfortable or safe, it's time to take notice. By October 8, 2025, key models like the original Nest Thermostat and Nest Protect smoke and CO detectors will no longer connect to the app, send alerts, or receive updates. Some features may disappear entirely, and others could stop working without warning.

That leaves many homeowners in limbo. If you rely on Nest for comfort and safety, whether it’s remote temperature control or smoke detection while you're away, now's the time to make a plan. Keep reading this blog to learn what this means for your setup and what your next step should be.

What Devices Are Losing Support?

While Nest has evolved under the Google Home brand, several early-generation products are reaching the end of their lifespan. Among them are the Nest Thermostat, the Nest Protect line of smoke and CO detectors, and other legacy products, such as older Nest Cam models, the Nest Learning Thermostat, and early integrations that no longer migrate smoothly to the Google Home platform.

Google already ended support for Nest Secure and Dropcam in April 2024, but this next wave affects devices still active in many homes, which makes the upcoming shutdown even more disruptive.

What Happens After October 8, 2025?

These devices won’t stop working the moment the date hits, but they will lose some key features that many homeowners rely on. That includes:

• App-based control and monitoring
• Push notifications and alerts
• Firmware or security updates
• Remote access through your phone or smart speaker

In some cases, entire functions might go dark. Imagine your smoke detector going quiet when it matters most, or trying to adjust the heat on a freezing day and getting no response. This goes beyond being inconvenient—it could risk your family’s safety and well-being.
