In Japan, it is common to have an air conditioner in each room and operate it with a different remote control, but in the United States, it is common to have a central air conditioning system that keeps all rooms in the house at a uniform temperature. The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th generation) is a device that acts as the controller for the central air conditioning system.



The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th generation) can be remotely controlled using Google's IoT management app 'Google Home,' and can also be controlled from various apps that support Matter.



In addition, the Nest Learning Thermostat (4th generation) is equipped with AI, which can automatically perform operations such as 'learning and recommending the user's preferred temperature settings' and 'predicting the user's return time from the user's behavior and adjusting the temperature.' In addition, users can explicitly control whether AI-recommended settings are enabled or disabled.



Additionally, it also has the ability to adjust the temperature or stop ventilation depending on the outdoor temperature and air quality.



The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th generation) comes with a temperature sensor called the Nest Temperature Sensor. The Nest Temperature Sensor is about the size of a pebble and will fit anywhere.



The Nest Learning Thermostat (4th generation) is available for pre-order in the United States and Canada, and is available in the United States for $279.99 (about 41,000 yen). It is not clear whether it will be available in Japan.
