Nest launches more affordable smart thermostat

Nest has released a new, more affordable version of its smart thermostat. The Nest Thermostat E (for 'everyone') will sell for a recommend price of USD 169 compared to around USD 250 for the standard Nest. 

The device is designed to "quietly blend into the home" rather than make a "bold design statement" like the standard Nest, the company said. The display shows softly glowing text and graphics, and when off, the frosted display fades into the background. 

Like​ ​the​ ​Nest​ ​Learning​ ​Thermostat,​ ​it​ ​turns​ ​itself​ ​down​ ​when​ ​the user is out, and the device can be controlled from anywhere​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Nest app.​ Nest said it offers an average user USD 131-145 in energy savings each year, meaning its cost is paid back within two years.
