A:AnswerThat is not an issue, it's an efficiency feature. Starting and stopping cost money. It will also do that based in the temperature outside, it knows if the house may be warmer or cooler later. Make sure you have it in cool mode only.
A:AnswerYes it will work anywhere that you put it and will use temperature from your room to turn on air. Mine is in the front not door of house and gets all the heat from open and closing door. Can’t wait for the sensors. Hope this helps
A:AnswerThe nest app does have an auto- schedule that learns your habits and when nobody is home. You can find this function by selecting the settings wheel on the nest home screen, then select your main thermostat. Auto- sensing isthe second option.
You can also make a schedule for every day of the week. This can be done by selecting your main thermostat from the home screen (under the house pic). At the bottom of the screen you'll see schedule.
A:AnswerYou would need to purchase one 3rd Generation Nest for each A/C unit you are controlling. Nest recently introduced the Nest Temperature Sensor which works in conjunction with the control unit, where you would place one of these sensors in the zone you want to set for optimal temperature. The logic is that typically the thermostat is not always placed in the room you want the most control. I have a home with three a/c units and added a Temperature Sensor to one bedroom since the thermostat was in the hallway. Works perfectly. Good luck.
A:AnswerIt’s a “learning” thermostat so if comfortable simply adjust manually by turning dial or via app and it will turn off the heating/cooling function until schedule changes or you change it.
A:AnswerProbably not. The real value in this comes from the automatic programming and ability to control your thermostat remotely. If your home is normally a comfortable temperature anyways, I'm not sure that it'd be that easy to justify the 250$ price tag.
A:AnswerNo, at least from what I've been able to determine. The base is the base, and the display is white on black, though it changes color when it's heating (and, I presume, cooling).
A:AnswerThey have sales from time to time and and many utilities have rebates for smart thermostats. I am unaware of any two pack sales. I had to buy two for my dual zone system. The money I saved on heating and cooling bills is worth it. Unless you know of a sale coming up, I wouldn't wait.
A:AnswerCall and ask. Amazon has install services available in many areas. I found it very easy to replace my old thermostat myself and you can probably find a video tutorial on YouTube that will cover the process.
A:AnswerI'd just inquire online about the NEST THERMOSTAT. We used a You Tube video to show us how to set it up & that would be very helpful to you, as it explains how to maneuver thru the screens, etc.
A:AnswerNo, You can replace one at a time it will not effect the T stat in any way as they are separate zones. I purchase and installed mine one at a time to make sure I was happy with the product and the cost.
A:AnswerWe lost power for some time during a storm. while we were on vacation,
WiFi reset, but not the Nest. I had to have a neighbor go in and reset Nest to WiFi.
A:AnswerNo, the unit is not always illuminated. It lights up when you walk near and displays the current temp and also when you change the settings. That is all.
As for voltage, I don't know. Set up is EASY though. Depending on your wiring situation, you refer to a chart on a setup up page on line, select the wires your AC has (which are inserted in labeled slots in your existing unit), and then displays the where they are to be inserted in the unit. If you don't have a C wire, you may need a certified installer to wire it.
A:AnswerTheoretically it could work with a 2 wire 24v which is what I have, but my system would not work with it as I have 3 zones and it was too much of a drain. If you have a 1 zone system it may work, just be aware of any clicking or other strange noising from the heating system (you'll notice it pretty quickly after installation) control board.
A:AnswerA lot of things can be happening. First, not sure how familiar your friend is with the thermostat. If you walk near it, the first thing that pops up is the actual temperature, not the setting. If it was a cooler day or evening and he walked by the thermostat, it would initially show the current temp which may have been 75. Also, are you sure you set it to ECO temp setting or just turned it down? If you just turned it down, the timer will take it to the next setting at the next time. Finally, do you have a smart phone App? You can check it, change it any time you want as long as your phone is connected and the Wi-Fi is on at your Florida place.
