    Excellent Upgrade from 3rd Gen

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I didn't realize that this version of the learning Thermostat(4th gen) would be that much different than the 3rd gen. It looks much improved and I like that it shows both the internal temp and what you set it to. The screen comes on automatically when you walk towards it. The most important reason I got this is that my HVac system is multifunctional and this thermostat can effectively make things more efficient. I know that my big house is now heating up properly. I use the Sensors to get areas of my house that normally would go unnoticed. To get this working properly, I needed to Google Nest Power Connector since my unit did not have a dedicated C wire. That Connector seemed to make things work much better as I understood that power wouldn't work correctly without it.

    Ive had nest thermostats before, and have been quite pleased with the ease of scheduling temp changes, and enrolling in automated programs through the thermostat with the power company to take advantage of Rush Hour savings and rewards. A personal preference: i hate the new look. Its sort of mushroom shaped, and the wall plate is round, so when replacing other brands, you have to repaint the wall, because the corners are exposed. The temperature sensor is fantastic. We discovered our childs room is a cold spot, and put the sensor in there. Since then, it has done a great job of averaging out the temperature across the whole floor to ensure acceptable heating levels.

    Very easy to set up and install. Had another smart thermostat before this one the old one lasted about 2 yrs and died. Did some research and found this to be the one for me. It does have smart features but does not have one of the multiple talking assistants. Was kind of a down fall for me but had another talking assistant already in the house juat relocated it for timers in kitchen. Over all a great unit and seems to be working like it should I havent set up all the schedules you can do on it for eco but will do that soon.

    This Nest replaces our 3rd generation Nest which stopped working for reasons unknown. The new Nest has been working fine but truthfully there are features of the 3rd gen that I prefer. I liked the appearance of the dial and how it turns to set temps or programs. These are minor and I will get used to them but I was happy with the previous one until it stopped functioning.

    I was skeptical of updating because the Gen 3 had been around for so long without issue. The Gen 4 feels better in every way. It feels solid when you touch it, the display is incredible and the added temperature sensor is a nice bonus.

    Google Nest Thermostat (4th gen) is powerful in cooling the temperature throughout our 4-bedroom home. The Temperature Sensor (2nd gen) is also a good addition: the rooms will have similar temperatures to the room the sensor is in. The thermostat is easy to use and can be controlled from afar by wifi.
