Google Rolls Out Thread 1.4 Upgrade for Nest Smart Home Devices

Google has started rolling out Thread 1.4 to its Nest smart home devices, including the Nest Hub, Nest Hub Gen 2, Nest Hub Max, and Nest WiFi Pro.

This upgrade is significant because it standardizes credential sharing, making it easier for third-party apps and devices to securely join an existing Thread mesh network.

Thread 1.4 also reduces response latency, minimizes random device dropouts, and improves overall performance.

The update is part of Google's effort to improve the functionality of its smart home ecosystem, but it has not made any official announcements about the rollout.
