    So let me start by saying I’ve been a long time nest user, this was used to replace an old unit that just got tired and worn out. We were ready to buy and saw that this new device was freshly released. It is very convenient that it comes with a remote temperature sensor for that one room that always seems to be a little hotter or colder than the main area. The display is nice to look at as well, there are a couple screen animations to choose from, one being weather that will show if it’s raining, or storming hard outside, so that’s pretty fancy. Overall it functions as you’d expect a fancy thermostat to do so. Overall a well done product.

      Hi Bambam123, thanks for being a long-time customer; we don't take that for granted. We're glad you like the product and those new fancy features (we think the weather animations are pretty slick too, if we do say so ourselves). Sounds like you're an old pro with our products, but we're always here to support if you need us. Cheers! madebygoogle

    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.
