Nest Thermostat now supports Google's Matter.

The Nest Thermostat is the first smart thermostat to support Matter, the new smart home standard developed by Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung, and others. With Matter, the Nest Thermostat will work with Apple Home without needing third-party hardware and all communication will be local, which should be faster and more reliable. The update will roll out to existing thermostats automatically over the next few weeks. Matter is still incomplete, but the addition of the Nest Thermostat could well signal a tipping point in the Matter rollout.
