The Nest Learning thermostat learns temperature behavior and preferences by creating an automatic program. It is also compatible with the vast majority of HVAC systems, works with voice assistants and made of premium materials. Compared to the Thermostat E, you don't get more extra money, except for a slightly larger screen and an extra year of warranty.

Nest Thermostat E, like its more expensive brother, learns as you use it, creating an automatic program for heating and cooling. It also works with voice assistants and has most of the same sensors as the Nest Learning thermostat, missing only those needed for Farsight. The housing and metallic color options are missing, but the real disadvantage is that it is not compatible with as many HVAC systems as the learning thermostat.
