    Downgrade from previous versions

    Not like the older version. I have 2 HVAC units in my house and I own a Nest E (I previously owned a 3rd generation Nest). I assumed this was just a revision of those, but it is not. The bezel doesn’t rotate, it’s touch only and super inconsistent. It either way overshoots what you want or doesn’t register at all. In addition, touching it does one thing and sliding it does another and it has no idea if it is being touched or slid. Finally, the Nest app doesn’t work with this. You are stuck with Google home, which straight up sucks compared to the Nest app. Now I have a separate app for my upstairs and downstairs units, and they won’t talk to each other. Congrats Google, on taking all the functionality and user-friendliness out of yet another product. I get it that you want me to convert my like to Alexa, but maybe you should come around to my way of thinking instead.

      Hi there Sue3, thanks for letting us know about the issue. We´re sorry to hear that Nest Thermostat didn't quite meet your expectations.

      We understand that long time Nest users, like you, enjoy viewing their Nest camera feeds from the Nest app. However, our priority with this launch was building a complete experience for our new cameras and doorbell in the Google Home app. We wanted to make the Google Home app as the one place you can control all your favorite Nest and other smart home devices with the Google Assistant. We also wanted to create an integrated experience with other Google Nest speakers and displays. If you´re willing to try, you may set up your older Nest cameras on the Google Home app as well. For more information, check out this help article:
      https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9293657

      We´ll make sure to hand over this information to the right team. We'd also like to take a closer look at your Nest Thermostat controls and see if we can help isolate it further. If you're willing to try, please make sure to contact our support team so we can assist you with your support concerns here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp

    I bought this as a refurbished unit but it was just like new, in the original packaging, and with everything. It appeared to be unused. It installed and worked great.

    Main complaint is how difficult this is to program work week day and week end settings. I could never figure that out. After messing with this for months I decided to do a factory reset and set it up all over again. Then on the coldest day of the year it was blowing AC and saying it was heating. Removed this junk and installed the old non-wifi Honeywell thermostat I am glad I saved. This is going in the trash. Next I'm going to try an Amazon smart thermostat.

    Pretty nice device. Does the job exceptionally well. The only con is, it is not very intuitive. Needs some getting used to get the hang of using it. Love the mirror finish.

    The newer units are much better than the older ones. We had an older unit and we had to get an electrician to wire it. This one wires very easily.
