When we introduced the Nest Learning Thermostat in 2011, we decided to make the target temperature more visible. “It’s a thermostat, not a thermometer,” we told ourselves.



The debate was revived last year after we launched the 3rd generation Nest Learning Thermostat and a feature called Farsight. When the Nest Thermostat spots you across the room, Farsight lights up to show you the target temperature or the time, in a digital or analog clock view.

People love Farsight. But we heard from a lot of customers who wanted it to show the current temperature in big numbers you can see from across the room. So now, it can. And we’ve also added an animated weather screen. (You know, to satisfy meteorology fans.) Just go to Display Settings on your thermostat and choose your view.
