    Great thermostat! Love the black color. 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.

      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.

    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.
