    I upgraded to Nest from my Sensi thermostats. Nest is so much easier to manage. I have an upstairs and downstairs. I was able to setup separate heating and cooling schedules. Easy to setup and easy to adjust. I also like having the extra temperature sensor. This lets me monitor the temp from two locations. I may add a few so I can see and adjust based on the temps in each bedroom. Also, setup was easy. The first one took me about 30 minutes because I was being careful and maticulous. The second one took me about 12 minutes. That includes mounting the backplate, front plate, and wiring.

    I live in an older home and there is always a huge temperature difference between my first and second floor. With this smart thermostat, I’m able to automatically adjust temperatures based on the times that I will be in either floor. This has relieved major annoyances I used to deal with on a daily basis. 100% recommend!

    I needed to replace a Gen 2 Nest that was killed by a lightning strike. The new Gen 4 nest and sensor were pretty easy to install and setup. I am happy with these units and am considering upgrades to the other Gen 2 units I have.

    It does a descent job at regulating temps. Love the phone control feature from anywhere. However , the temp isn’t functionally regulating with each respective sensor, so I don’t love that.

    Much easier to install than anticipated when following the online guide. Adapts well to my schedule and seems to be limiting the amount of unit run time while still maintaining preferred temperature, all on its own.
