Winter is coming, y’all — and we’re not talking about Game of Thrones.

Which is why you should be psyched that the PCMag Shop has the Nest Learning Thermostat on sale for $209 — a solid $41 off its listing price of $249.99.

Since the weather is abruptly changing before our watery, wind-smacked eyes, now’s the perfect time to appreciate how nice it is to step into a home that’s set at exactly the right temperature. There’s nothing worse than escaping the frigid outdoors, only to be met with a cold house — except maybe sweating as soon as you get out of the shower. Luckily, a smart thermostat can help with both.

The Nest Learning Thermostat is basically what dreams are made of, considering it’s designed to learn your schedule and adjust temperatures in your home accordingly. That means no more programming on your end — Nest will learn from you and program itself. Check that off as one less thing you have to think about.

While schedules are good, they’re of course subject to change. Sometimes you’ve had a 15-day vacation planned for six months yet still manage to forget to adjust the thermostat before you leave to catch a flight. Rather than get smacked in the face with a big energy bill, the Nest Learning Thermostat allows you to adjust your room temperatures straight from your phone via app. So whether you’re away from home or just too comfortable to get off the couch, your thermostat’s controls are basically in the palm of your hands. 

Oh, and since the Nest is also Alexa compatible and responds to voice commands, you can even just ask to turn up the heat if you want — you know, in case you’re feelin’ real lazy on that couch of yours and opening an app is just too much. 

If you’re still on the fence about taking the plunge into Nest world, consider this:

The Nest Learning Thermostat is the first thermostat to get ENERGY STAR certified. It’s designed to be energy efficient. Independent studies have proven that it actually saved an average of 10-12% on heating bills and 15% on cooling bills. So in theory, this thing practically pays for itself.

Rather than slapping some chunky box on your wall, the 3rd generation model is thin, sleek, and modern looking. It also has near-field and far-field vision, so when it sees you approaching, it’ll light up its high resolution 5.3cm color screen. Set up is super simple and takes less than 30 minutes, so we’re pretty sure the Nest Learning Thermostat literally couldn’t be more convenient. 

Well, maybe if it was on sale.

Oh wait.
