Thermostats that work with Google Home: the 11 that do, and what each one can't do
11 of the 12 thermostats in our library work with Google Home: 4 for everything they list, and 7 with an exception named on each. Every one of them is listed here with the catch that applies on Google Home specifically — the setup it needs, what stays stuck in the vendor's own app, and where Google Home's automations can't reach a capability the device has.

Work for everything they list
Honeywell Home X2S Smart Thermostat
Google Home sets the temperature and switches heating and cooling modes through Matter, because Google lists thermostats among the Matter devices it supports. You need a Google Home hub that acts as a Matter controller. Resideo marks the X2S as Matter certified and names Google Assistant, but does not say how it connects to Google; its product page marks only Apple Home as working through Matter.
Automations Google Home's Matter page lists this kind of device; its automations can use HVAC mode, Target temperature and Temperature reading.
Honeywell Home T9 Smart Thermostat
Resideo says Google Assistant can show and control both the thermostat and its room sensors. You connect it by linking your Honeywell Home account through Works with Google in the Google Home app.

Matter only; basic thermostat control
Automations Google Home's Matter page lists this kind of device; its automations can use HVAC mode, Target temperature and Temperature reading.
