Great product!! I purchased 3 of these to replace the older thermostats that came with my house. They are intuitive. Once you learn how to operate them you can see the current temperature, change settings, and even setup routines on the Google Home app. The mirrored finish looks very nice. The display is bright and easily readable as well. The price point is not bad either. I have a Google Nest learning thermostat as well. This one is less complicated, but doesn’t have as many features. Honestly, the features it does have are perfect considering the lower cost. My biggest complaint isn’t with the product, but the app. Google has 2 apps, the Nest app and the Home app. I prefer the Nest app, but these do not work with that one. Oh well. It doesn’t detract from the device itself. Even with that, I give it 5 stars. I will also say, if your HVAC system doesn’t have a dedicated “C” wire, you’ll need to install a transformer to feed the 24 bolts required to charge the batteries. It was super simple for me, but you may need a professional to install this if you are not a fortunate as I was.

I assumed that this thermostat would work with any type of heat system, found out I was wrong. I have a wall mount heater in my four season room that Nest is not compatible. I have on in the main part of my house and I love it!

Replaced our old Thermostat for the Nest. It works great and its the first Smart decice for our house. Love how it can be controlled from my phone. It also helps save energy with the app. I will say dont use the Geek Squad as they did not do a good job installing. They blew a fuse in the furnace and said to call a pro as the nest didnt work. I They touched a wire together. The electrician told me they should have not only turned off the ac on the panel but also unplug the furnace when installing. I need to paint the wall where the old one was as it was bigger.
