Nest 3rd Generation Smart Learning Thermostat: Take control of your home's heating and cooling without lifting a finger with this thermostat, which learns your habits and adjusts to automatically regulate your home's temperature based on your schedule. The Nest Leaf feature alerts you when you choose a temperature that's energy efficient.
A: If you have one unit controlling both upstairs and down stairs, you will continue to face this challenge. In order to balance both upstairs and down stairs, you will need a unit for the down stairs and a unit for the upstairs, each having their own separate thermostat.
Q: Can the Nest be used with a Heat Pump?
A: Yes. I have had a Nest controlling a heat pump with electric backup heat for two years now and it works fine.
Q: Does this work with a 2 wire system?
A: I have a 2 wire heating system and it works for me. When I checked using the compatibility tool it told me to take a picture of my wiring and send to customer support. I did and they verified it's compatible and told me which plugs to use in the nest
A: The Nest works independently like your current thermostats in the home, and can only control whatever part of the system it's wired to. So if you currently have two thermostats, then you could choose to just replace one of them with a Nest, and keep the other one as a standard thermostat, or you could replace both each with a Nest.

Q: What if my wifi is not working but my power is on. Will the furnace and AC still heat and or cool?
A: Yep the thermostat will function on its own without a connection...you just won't be able to access the remote features
Q: Will the Nest tell me if the power is on or off?
A: Yes. When the unit is heating your house, the display will be a reddish-orange color. When the unit is cooling your house, the display will be blue. If the system is off, the background will be a dark grey or black color, with white numbers. It will even give you an estimated time until you reach your target temperature. If your house is at 66 degrees and you set the heat to 72, it will say "estimated 52 minutes to target temperature" or something like that, depending on the size of your house (information you can add to the thermostat as well).
Q: Will it work with a heat only thermostat?
A: Yes it will. It can detect what you have once you plug it in. I have heat only and only have two wires coming in ( white and red). I have an oil furnace and baseboard/radiators. It works great!
Q: If I am out of town, can I still control my thermostat on my phone? Is there a distance limit?
A: As long as your Nest is connected to your WiFi, and your internet at home does not go out, you can control your thermostat from anywhere, even while out of town.

*Buy any smart thermostat (CA) using local rebates! Made getting the smart thermostat worth it* Via local power company (PG&E, annd your local city Irrigation District etc. AND Golden State Rebates or whatever is offered by YOUR LOCAL legit state run programs. I got almost $125 off! Great item which goes along with all the smart products. As long as you take a picture of the wiring of old thermostat will be an easy install. Only had small trouble during synch to Google home when it wouldn’t read the QR code to start the connecting process. Overall really great product and looks sleek. Bought due to accidentally leaving a/c on all day using old standard thermostat. Switch to smart product, Numerous colors to choose from! Pros: -Easy access through app to control temps, -Savings using airwaves mode to keep house cool instead of using a/c -Stays connected to WiFi with no issues -Has learning mode to learn your schedule -$125 off via rebates - great Cons: -Turns off a/c when no activity is sensed passing thermostat (poss due to learning mode schedule) -initial set up with app (for me) was not connecting to Google home -connected via nest app which then popped up on Google home app

My AC service tech recommended this unit and I'm glad that I bought it. This unit looks great and works even better. The directions were good but I also watched a couple of installation videos on YT just to be certain about the wire connections. All in, it's easy to get up and running. I really like how the unit learns your usage patterns and programs itself to replicate those patterns after several days of consistent use. In fact, it's done such a good job of "learning" that I hardly use the app anymore to control the temperature. It just works! If your on the fence... just buy one. And if you're like me you'll be glad that you did.

The thermostat itself is great. Easy to install, connected to the network immediately, works and looks great. Alexa found it immediately and now I can boss my thermostat around from anywhere. Five stars, for sure. The optional back plate to cover the electrical box which sits behind the thermostat is less than ideal though. Thermostat is sleek and modern, the backplate is a cheap white plastic square with rounded corners that looks like a "builder's special" from Home Depot discount bin. I'm going to paint the plate to match the wall color and, hopefully, it will improve the overall look, otherwise I have to go hunting on Amazon for something a little more sleek.
