Future‑proof the thermostat you love
As of October 25, 2025, Nest Thermostats of the 1st and 2nd generation are no longer supported by Google. Nest and Google Home app access have stopped working.
Sett is an open-source, enclosure-compatible version of the 2nd gen Nest thermostat. It reuses the enclosure, encoder ring, display, and mounts of the Nest but replaces the "thinking" part with open-source PCBs that interact with Home Assistant and other local-first home automation setups.
