Nest Thermostat to Support Apple HomeKit via Matter

Google's Nest Thermostat will now support the Matter smart home standard, allowing users to change the temperature and mode with Matter-compatible apps and devices outside of Google's ecosystem, including from Apple and Amazon. The over-the-air update is currently available for the Nest Thermostat, released in 2020, and will roll out automatically over the next few weeks. Matter is an open standard for smart home technology supported by Google, Apple, Amazon, Samsung, and others.
