The updated Google Home app is available in Public Preview for select users.

Ahead of the launch of the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen), theGoogleHome app has been upgraded to make it easier to control and customise the new smart thermostat. The upgrades include a complete redesign of the icons and settings – although not all Google Home users will have access to it yet.

Images and specs of theGoogle Nest Thermostat have been leakingthroughout the past month via Twitter and TikTok. The fourth generation of the Google Nest Thermostat already looks more impressive than its predecessor, with its slimmer all-glass display and touchscreen controls.

In terms of layout, the Nest app and Energy Dashboard icons sit under the main thermostat’s controls, and the new Google Nest Thermostat can be customised through the Favourites menu. This redesign means it’s far easier and quicker to access and adjust your smart thermostat, rather than having to manually go through several pages.

At the bottom of the Google Home app, users can see various details about their heating, including the current temperature and humidity, different modes, fan controls and ‘time until’ desired temperature. As the new Google Nest Thermostat promises to be smarter than its predecessors, this Google Home app update claims to back this up with its new controls and smarter suggestions.

The Google Home app upgrade can be seen in Public Preview version 3.20.1.8. The updates haven’t been rolled out to all users just yet, although it’s expected to be more widely available after the new Google Nest Thermostat (4th gen) is released.
