Smart homes are in disarray after daylight saving time baffles Google Nest devices
Nest Thermostats and Hubs are stumbling over the daylight saving time shift.
As daylight saving time concluded on November 1, Google Nest devices have been experiencing significant issues. Users in regions that do not observe daylight saving time report their Nest Hub clocks have moved back by an hour. Consequently, alarms, automations, and schedules associated with these smart home products are also off by an hour.
The end of daylight saving time, which officially took place at 2:00 AM local time, resulted in clocks falling back by one hour, reinstating standard time. Although residents of affected areas gained an extra hour of sleep, Google Nest device users in these regions are now facing a new set of complications. Reports from Nest Hub and Nest Learning Thermostat owners indicate the devices are not functioning as expected due to the unexpected time shift.
