    Honestly, this thing is awesome. The setup was stupid easy — the app basically does all the work for you. The polished black look is super clean and gives my wall that modern vibe. The temp sensor that comes with it is a game-changer. I dropped it in my bedroom and now it actually stays the perfect temp at night. It learns my routine, saves energy, and I can tweak everything from my phone or just tell Google to handle it. If you’re on the fence — just get it. Worth every penny.

    Good looking Gen 4 Thermostat that performs

    Google - Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) with Nest Temperature Sensor (2nd gen) - Polished Silver The Google - Nest Learning Thermostat (4th gen) rounded 2.7-inch LCD screen is 60% bigger than the previous (3rd) generation's display. The larger screen view changes when you are up close and expands when you are further away, allowing you to see your customized info at a glance. The display has a new Dynamic Farsight feature with a customized home screen to easily view the time, temperature, weather, or outdoor air quality. This new screen, which is larger, allows the Dynamic Farsight feature to pop. Like previous models, you can use the stainless steel edge surrounding the thermostat to adjust and dial in your temperatures. A new 12-terminal backplate greatly expands its compatibility with most HVAC systems. If your house is equipped with a separate ventilation system, it works to help save energy when it senses that outside air changes that can work with your comfort settings and considers air quality. Installation was straightforward and easy to do. I have been a Nest user since Gen 2, so I am already familiar with the process. They give you a metal plate, a large oval trim plate, screws, and a Sensor. They also include a strip of wire tags. You scan a QR code to give you step-by-step instructions, and the unit is good at testing and giving feedback during the installation process. As noted, the unit now comes with a (2nd gen) remote sensor. This can be used to create routines to help adjust the temperature to the sensor rather than the one in the thermostat. Additional remote thermostats can be purchased separately, and the unit can be programmed to choose different sensors at different times or to adjust to their average as you customize your thermostat's routine. It would be a nice addition if the remote sensors had occupancy detectors like the main unit. That would give additional flexibility to adjust a room's temperature only if it senses someone there. You can not use the original Nest app with this revision. You have to switch to the Google Home App. Though there are certain features, like dealing with the entire week at a time on the Nest app, that the Home app doesn’t have, the Home app has a lot more settings and features, though the organization doesn’t seem to be as clear. This of course could be because I am so used to using the Nest app. One thing I always appreciated about the smart home thermostat is the ability to switch to a more energy-efficient temperature when you are away from home and then switch to your normal setting when you get into the GeoFencing range. Most of the time, I will have it switch over to home mode when I am twenty minutes away just for my own family's comfort. The Google Home app can be shared with other members of the family and will take advantage of everyone's presence or be aware when everyone is away and then act accordingly. The Gen 4 unit is advertised as having improved AI that helps adjust the thermostat to keep you comfortable by learning patterns and monitoring your system's health and indoor and outdoor conditions. I can see it adjusting things like the fan and trying different temperature settings while it learns, but it does take some time, and I have only been using this for a week. The AI is supposed to be smart enough to analyze how the weather outdoors will affect the temperature inside and adjust accordingly. Smart Schedule looks at pattern changes and makes frequent micro-adjustments in different situations, such as coming home early instead of your regular schedule. It will give you energy-saving suggestions that can be implemented automatically or you can accept or reject them in the APP. The Thermostat and the App are Matter-Compatible, allowing you to control them from other smart home apps and devices. They also provide advice about other sensors, such as window sensors, reminding you to close or open them to conserve energy. I could not test or utilize this feature because my home automation is Z-Wave, not Matter units. One additional feature that I have always appreciated is the System Health Monitor. This tracks the HVAC performance over time. It can sense issues of failure to cool or heat a space in adequate time and send you recommendations or urgent alerts for problems that may require immediate attention. I like the upgraded thermostat and look forward to the adjustments the AI will make. I also like that I can use this unit with my electrical company to participate in a discount to adjust my usage during a time that would benefit in decreasing the load at peak times during the summer months.

    Needed to replace an earlier generation Nest thermostat. Since I already have several other Nest/Google devices, this was my first choice. I am very happy with the update. The replacement install took literally less than 10 minutes. Setup was very simple as all I had to do was connect to wireless and it was pretty much done. That being because I was replacing an earlier gen of the same device. Feature set is really very good. I usually leave it on heat/cool all year round. Took a couple of weeks for the "learning" part to kick in but once it started to get my routine down it does really well. Don't have to adjust it which was the point to begin with. Works well with the Google home app. Sets itself to Eco mode when it senses no one is home. Looks are fantastic. Great design without being too busy. No complaints. I would recommend this to someone.

    I really liked the updated design. It feels so modern. I was able to install it myself and I have no experience. Be sure to watch the video on you tube to watch how to install it. My only complaint is that the included instructions weren’t very detailed.

    We had an older model which we bought 8-9 years ago and was still working fine. We decided to upgrade to a newer model with the current technology. So far it's been wotking great and it's easier to use than our original model.

    The installation process is easy and it looks really good on your wall once installed. Navigation and menus are straight forward and simple. My problem with this gen 4 model is it doesn’t sync with the nest app and only google home. If you have more than 1 nest thermostat like I do and it’s gen 3 and under prepare to ditch the nest app. Another is if you’re an Apple user like I am it, setting it up with Apple home is a pain and gives you a lot of errors. It’s possible to do it but it’s not easy. The different fixes for this can be found on Reddit. If all you need is Google home than this is the best product for you.

    It definitely exceeded my expectations. The newer versions of Google products just keep getting better. I had the previous version, and it broke due to an electrical problem at home, so I wouldn't have replaced it if it hadn't been for the faulty circuit breaker. My first impression is that it's like having a very well-made and highly functional wall clock. The software has also changed; it's easier to use on the device and in the app. Overall, the product is 1000% better than its predecessors, and the price isn't unreasonable.

    Upgraded from my Gen 2 Nest to this Google Nest Learning Thermostat (4th Gen) with Nest Temperature Sensor and the install was pretty straightforward. It integrates with Google Home and learns your schedule to help improve comfort and energy efficiency. I’m hoping the updated tech will deliver better energy savings over time, and so far it feels like a solid upgrade.
