Nest is a name that has long been synonymous with the very best smart thermostats on the market, so when it comes time to install one in your own home its wares are a great place to start. You don’t necessarily have to shop at the expensive end of the market, either, with some of its older and cheaper models well worth checking out. Woot currently has discounts on a couple of those models with prices starting at just $106 if you’re quick. And we mean quick, because these prices will only last for the next few hours — Woot says the deals end on March 1.
There are actually two different models for you to choose from here, with the Nest Thermostat E being the cheapest. At just $106 you also get a handy temperature sensor in the bundle so you can monitor the temperature somewhere other than where the thermostat is placed. The thermostat is programmable and has Home/Away Assist so it can automatically adjust the temperature when you leave or arrive home. And of course, all of the usual Nest remote control features are present, too.

If you’re shopping further up the price range you can pay $146 for the Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd-Gen), a model that was replaced by the 4th-gen version that is among our favorite smart thermostats. The differences between the pair aren’t huge, but the older model doesn’t support Matter connectivity nor does it include a temperature sensor. It’s also offered in fewer colors — this deal is for the stainless steel one, by the way. The newer model also makes temperature adjustments based on what’s going outside and is just generally smarter overall.
All of that being said, if you’re coming from an old-fashioned thermostat, or none at all, you can’t go wrong with either of these smart home deals. Just make sure to order yours before it’s too late. It’s also worth noting that you’ll get a 90-day Woot warranty with your new thermostat, too.
