Nest Thermostat gets three new colour options

Nest just announced three new colour options for its Learning Thermostat lineup, bringing the options up to seven. The three new finishes are polished steel, mirror black, and brass. These options are part of the new Artist Collection, which Nest describes as being “inspired by the work of industrial artists who create beautiful pieces using various metals.” The new colours are coming to the US for US$249. Meanwhile, the polished steel option is coming to Canada.

Nest Learning Thermostat might be coming to Canada through Google Play

It would make sense that Google will sell the product of its latest acquisition on the Google Play Store. You can find all Google devices there already. While Google has not officially announced its availability yet, Droid Life was able to grab a screenshot of Google Play’s support pages for available devices with the Nest Learning Thermostat in the list. It says the device will be available in Canada, the US, and UK. The product isn’t available in those countries right now. So, does that mean Google plans to sell the Nest here? There is no word yet from Google and they have pulled the listing from the support page. We’ll keep our eyes and ears open for any developments.

UPDATE

Google has started to sell the Nest Learning Thermostat on Google Play for US$249. The tech company even helped celebrate Earth Day by planting a tree for every Nest device it sold.

Video: Nest Learning Thermostat now available in Canada

The Nest Learning Thermostat, the world's first commercially available learning thermostat, can help save Canadians up to 20 percent on their home heating and cooling bills by automatically turning itself down when you're away, guiding you to energy-efficient temperatures when you're home, and by creating a personalized temperature schedule based on learning your habits.

 Nest uses motion sensors, cloud computing and algorithms to learn about you, your home and your habits to automatically turn itself down when you're away and to be more energy-efficient when you are home – altogether programming itself to help you save money.

Starting today, Canadians can purchase their own Nest at nest.com/store for $249 USD, plus shipping. And yes, there is an app for it. Nifty, eh?
