    Luxury thermostat! It looks way much better on my wall than the previous gen. Display a little on the dim side, maybe because of the color. One con is, it is very expensive now that the previous gen is on sale.

    Love this NEST thermostat. It gives indoor and outdoor temps. Humidity indiction in the house. Very easy to control from my android phone. And the separate free standing device keeps me informed of my bedroom temp, as well. Even though this version is the more expensive unit- it is worth it. Plus I have the membership from Best Buy that gives me a discount.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Nest Thermostat Gen4, MoHo. Good news! There is a way to tell how much energy your system is using for the past 10 days — here’s how:

      1. Open the Home app.
      2. Tap and hold your device's tile.
      3. Tap Energy dashboard.
      4. Select Day, Week or Month.

      The chart shows you how long your heating or cooling ran during the time period you’ve selected.

    It's a good thermostat. This new unit will only integrate with Google Home, and not the legacy Nest App which kind of frustrates me, as I still have an older unit downstairs. That being said, I do enjoy the new larger screen - but miss the blue/red screen tinting of the legacy devices.

    This thermostat with the sensor is great. Most homes are built with th air handler on the opposite side of the house from the master bedroom. I purchased this one because of that with the sensor I was able to find out there was a five degree difference from the temperature in the living area and the master bedroom. This thermostat has giving me a balance in every room. Which means if the temperature is 70 degrees in the living area it is also 70 degrees in the master bedroom
