A smart thermostat will be a welcome addition to any home, and if you’re interested in getting one, why not go for the best in the market? The fourth-generation Google Nest Learning Thermostat, which has an original price of $280, is on sale from Walmart for a much more affordable price of $198. There’s no telling how much time is remaining before the $82 discount expires, so you need to hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of this fantastic offer.

Why you should buy the Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen)

The fourth-generation Google Nest Learning Thermostat headlines our list of the best smart thermostats, and it’s even featured in our roundup of the best smart home devices. The first thing that you’ll notice about it is the premium design with a screen that’s 60% larger than its predecessor. You can customize the display’s appearance to show information like time, weather forecast, or outdoor air quality, in addition to your home’s temperature, and with the second-generation Google Nest Temperature Sensor, those readings will always be accurate.

Of course, the Google Nest Learning Thermostat is more than just a flashy device. Its features as a smart thermostat include an onboard AI that tracks your habits to make a schedule that fits your home, compatibility with the Google Assistant to work with voice commands, and the ability to monitor your HVAC system to let you know if you need to call a professional for service. You’ll also be able to use the Google Home app to control the Google Nest Learning Thermostat from anywhere, though of course, you also have the option of using its touch controls.

The fourth-generation Google Nest Learning Thermostat already offers excellent value at its original price of $280, so it’s a steal at its lowered price of only $198 from Walmart. The savings of $82 will only be available for a limited time though, so you should hurry! After this purchase of the Google Nest Learning Thermostat, if you want to build out your smart home ecosystem further, you should check out all of the other Google Nest deals that we’ve collected, which include smart displays, security cameras, and video doorbells.

EcoFlow’s new power stations can keep devices running even when the battery hits 0%
EcoFlow's new DELTA Gen4 and RIVER Gen4 series reserve a small amount of battery power for emergencies, even when the indicator reads 0%.
EcoFlow DELTA Gen4 power station

EcoFlow has launched four new portable power stations under its DELTA Gen4 and RIVER Gen4 series. And there is a rather interesting trick they can pull off when the battery runs out. All four models come with Emergency Power Mode, which keeps a small amount of electricity in reserve even when the battery indicator shows 0%. That's enough to charge a phone or keep an emergency light running on the DELTA models during a power outage.

The lineup covers both ends of portable power needs. There are two high-capacity models for home backup, and two smaller ones for camping, road trips, and other outdoor activities.
