    Had great hopes to be able to control temperature from phone, notebook. Followed all instructions regarding wiring but was never able to get Nest to turn on. Installing in new build home.

    $250 bucks and it lasted a year and 10 days! Just enough for the warranty to expire! The wifi is blown so this unit and the remote temperature sensor are now worthless.

    Easy to setup and very functional

    Bought this on a lark. Was intrigued by the ability to control remotely when away by using my iPhone. I am no electrician by a longshot but the installation instructions and website interactive help made the setup very simple. Offsite control with my phone is easy, and I can also control with my Amazon Echo. Self learning as well as programmable more. Attractive unit. Would recommend without hesitation.

    I bought this for my 2013 built home. Currently have a honeywell digital screen thermostat, but it seems to only have the R and C wires. Check compatibility before u buy.

    Worked fine for two years. Within a week of the two year period, it broke. Have had A/C people look at it and it can only permanently stay on heat or cool, can't switch between the two.

    The heat came on at 69 degrees after it was working for two days. Confirmed my wiring was correct. Bought a different thermostat and it has been up and running for one month without a problem.

    My furnace is old and they were not able to install it as it did not have a common wire. It sure it would have been nice if they were able to install.

    We have tried twice within 6 hours of trying to make this unit work. We even tried calling the place which you can only chat. Totally a waist of time and money.

    Works fine, easy to install

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Works as advertised. Does not work with Homekit, minimal functionality with ADT pulse - cannot create automations. Works great with Alexa. Nest site was down when I installed the system. Hopefully it won't be a common issue. Installation and setup were super easy, although I wish more of the setup was done on the app instead of on the thermostat. Display is really nice and bright. White looks a lot more subtle than the other colors, I feel. INSTALLATION HINT - I had the furnace covers opened while installing this as I had to connect the c-wire to my furnace - electrician didn't connect it because old thermostat didn't use it, but the wiring was already in place. Furnace wouldn't power up with the covers off, so Nest didn't come on. Once I put the covers back on, the furnace came on, and the Nest came on as well.

    Save your money. Their RD dept needs a new leader. Needs an external power source, unclearly labeled. Tech support is very untruthful in helping you. Not worth the hassle or the $249 PRICE!

    It didn't work. First I paid to have it installed then I had to have another person come out to remove it. Total waste of time and money.
