    So far so good. I like the look of the thermostat on the wall and that it can work with my iPhone such as Siri. But bad thing is that it does not work with nest app anymore you will have to use Google Home app from now on which is okay also.

    I’ve always loved the Nest Learning Thermostats. I was worried that they wouldn’t come out with a new Learning one. I wasn't a fan of the dummied down ones. It has been great and looks very nice on my wall. I would definitely recommend it!
