Question 1- It lights up when motion is detected. Question 2- I have a 50yr old house and it worked fine. I would call/email customer service before starting. I sent a picture of my Thermostat wiring diagram. Within an hour, they sent me back a photo of the Nest diagram.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, the display only wakes up when motion is sensed close to the device. I believe it needs a 24 volt power supply.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can answer question 1. The nest is it always illuminated. It will illuminate when it senses you in the room. There are various settings, but this is the one I chose.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.NEST lights up when it detects motion. Question#2 - not sure about volts. If you have an existing thermostat, it should be ok.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, 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.
