As part of its Prime Day deals, Amazon is now offering Prime members the Google Nest Thermostat with Matter for $84.99 including shipping. It normally retails for $130, so you're getting a significant $45 discount, or around 35% in savings, that's up for grabs right now. This is a deal that's only been bested once, by a short-lived deal at Woot for $70. For further comparison, this is a match for the lowest Amazon offer we tracked. This is the thermostat I use in my home, so read on if you're interested in learning more.

Last year, Google updated the software in its Nest Thermostat to include support for Matter. This allowed it to work with not only Google's platform, but all the other major players, including Apple HomeKit. This caught my attention and as a result, I caved and bought one a month or so ago. It's worked flawlessly in my HomeKit smart home and I can't recommend it enough. For more, check out our hands-on review.

If you're interested in other Google smart home deals, be sure to check out the Nest Hub smart displays, which are now priced starting at $50. And for those looking to brighten up their outdoor space with some smart lighting, be sure to check out Govee's 48-Foot RGBIC Outdoor Light for $35. That's the result of a 30% discount, making now about as good a time as any to grab one.

Google Nest Thermostat with Matter Features:

• The Nest Thermostat is designed to work in most homes without a C-wire, but some systems, including heating-only, cooling-only, zone-controlled, and heat pump systems, will require a C-wire or other compatible power accessory
• The Nest Thermostat turns itself down when you leave, so you're not wasting energy heating or cooling an empty home.
• Lockout Feature: No
• Programmable thermostat lets you create an energy-efficient schedule in the Google Home app on your Android or iPhone
