$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.

Garbage thermostat

Only get this if you don't mind the chance that an electrical surge will turn off the thermostats ability to be controlled by apps.... So if you're away from home and it's below freezing.....you may come home to an ice box!

We're sorry to hear about this experience you've had with your Nest. If the Nest for some reason loses its internet connection, as long as there's power going to the Nest, this would still act as a standard thermostat and continue to control the homes HVAC system.

A lot of people will say that this does not need C wire but it really does. I tried to use it without one and unfortunately it just cycled on and off. I had to return it.

We're sorry to hear about the issues you've experienced with your Nest when activating heating. It's possible that your control panel was sensitive to the way the Nest charges its internal battery which is something that our support staff is able to assist with.

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.

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.

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.
