    The nest is very nice easy set up very estate designs. And work good with learning thermastat. you must have c-wire for constant power. For the matter to work other wise the Apple HomeKit will show no response.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Its a amazing product but I should have read the instructions or make or model of my air unit . Because the nest and air unit of my home is not compatible . It burned the fuse about 2 time . I had to sleep in the heat about 3 days . So I put in my old unit it worked again .
