Nest Devices Roll Out Thread 1.4 Update for Seamless Connectivity

Google's Nest devices are receiving an update to Thread 1.4, a smart home standard that allows seamless connectivity between devices from different manufacturers.

The updated devices include the Nest Hub, Nest Hub Max, and Nest WiFi Pro, which will make it easier for users to share access credentials with other devices in the future.

According to user reports, the update is rolling out without an official announcement from Google, a common practice for minor firmware updates on Nest devices.

The key feature of Thread 1.4 is Credential Sharing, which enables border routers from different manufacturers to automatically recognize each other and join the same mesh network.
