This means that those older models will no longer work with the Google Nest or Google Home apps. And if you\u2019ve been relying on app-based features like remote temperature control, scheduling, or integration with other smart devices, those are about to go away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p data-wp-editing=\"1\"><a href=\"tel:+1-978-381-1579\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29794 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.128plumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/128-Plumbing-Call-Button.jpg\" alt=\"128 Plumbing Call Button\" width=\"131\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.128plumbing.com\/request-appointment\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-29795 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.128plumbing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/128-Plumbing-Book-Online-Button.jpg\" alt=\"128 Plumbing Book Online Button\" width=\"131\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>What This Change Means<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no need to panic; the thermostat itself will still function.

Just know that over time, it may become less efficient, future updates or fixes won\u2019t be available, and the features that sold you on the device are no longer available to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Smart home technology is constantly changing, which is amazing! But unfortunately, that means some older thermostats\u00a0 just may not be able to keep up when the engineering doesn\u2019t continue to update its software.
