    I am not a tech savvy person so being able to use this product to control my HVAC shows its ease of use. It is intuitive for me, and I imagine it can be intuitive for others. It appears to be very good quality, and I hope to get many years of use from it.

    This was a huge improvement! I had one of the original google nest thermostats and this one is lightyears ahead of that one. The only reason I decided to even change was cause I had things from when they were all supported by the nest app. The temp sensor is pretty awesome also gives a better avg temp for my entire home.
