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.
