• The Google Nest Learning Thermostat is Self-learning, it  learns from you and programs itself. On the other hand, Amazon Smart Thermostat can be paired with an Alexa to for Alexa Hunches that adjust the temperature automatically (for examples If Alexa has a hunch nobody is home or everyone is asleep, she can adjust the thermostat automatically.)
• The Google Nest Learning Thermostat works with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and Nest while the Amazon Smart Thermostat can be controlled with Alexa or Ring app.
• The Google Nest Learning Thermostat has a Nest Leaf that appears when you choose an energy-saving temperature, while the Amazon Smart Thermostat does not mention this feature.

Which one do would we recommend?

To clarify, the Amazon Smart Thermostat does not have a built-in self-learning feature. The Nest Thermostat, learns your temperature preferences and adjusts itself accordingly over time.

However, the Amazon Smart Thermostat does not have a similar self-learning capability. It primarily relies on Alexa’s hunches to figure out if people are sleeping or no one is home.

Given this, we would prefer the Amazon Smart thermostat if you have an Alexa at your home. Otherwise, we would go for Nest.
