Google Enhances Nest Thermostat with Brightness Control
Google has announced a significant update for its latest Nest Learning Thermostat, aimed at resolving long-standing complaints regarding screen readability. The introduction of a manual brightness control feature enhances the user experience, making it easier to read information on the device's display.
The Display and Its Features
- The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) sports a 2.7-inch display, doubling its predecessor’s size.
- Users can customize the main display to show time, weather, or indoor temperature.
- As you approach, the display transitions to show humidity, outdoor temperature, and air quality index.
