Google Nest Learning Thermostat vs Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat

Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat on value and features per dollar: an included occupancy-detecting room sensor, system health monitoring, voice control with a speaker and Apple HomeKit. Nest Learning Thermostat wins on self-learning scheduling, dual-band Wi-Fi and its colour display.

Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat includes a Smart Room Sensor with up to 200 ft range that detects occupancy and reads humidity, and you can prioritise rooms or average them. Nest Learning Thermostat supports remote sensors too, but selects them by time of day rather than by occupancy.

Nest Learning Thermostat, which builds a schedule from your behaviour and adjusts around your routine automatically. Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat uses manual scheduling with geofenced Auto Home and Away, so it reacts to your location rather than learning your habits.

Only Nest Learning Thermostat, which lists Matter alongside Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and IFTTT. Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat has no Matter support, although its native HomeKit, Google, Alexa and SmartThings coverage means most homes will not miss it.
