    My house has inconsistent temperatures upstairs and downstairs (up to 5-6 degrees difference between rooms) because of a bizarre setup the builder used. With the thermostat and a sensor in each room, I’m able to use this to average the temperatures in each room instead of paying the $3500 the HVAC company wanted to charge to install a zone system. My rooms are now usually the same temp with maybe up to two degrees difference max. I love it.

    Overall it is a decent purchase. I'm a bit wary if the auto eco and learning capabilities though. We're troubleshooting my A/C to determine if it's the AC or the thermostat, but the auto eco wasn't even trying to run the AC with the house 6 degrees above desired temp. I had to disable it and turn the AC on.

      Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Nest Thermostat Gen 4, billydabutcha. While we’re happy you’re enjoying the device, we hear your concerns regarding Eco Temperature not turning on when it should be. Here’s some troubleshooting steps to get it working smoothly:

      1. Make sure automatic switching to Away is set to switch to Eco Temperature: Check that switching to Eco Temperature is enabled with the app or on the thermostat.
      2. Check that Routines aren't adjusting the thermostat: Occasionally, Google Home or Assistant Routines can prevent your thermostat from switching to Eco Temperature. If you suspect a Routine is adjusting the thermostat, check its recent activity and change the settings of a Routine:
      3. Reset Auto-Away learning: Normally, thermostat learning needs a reset only after habit changes or relocation. Once reset, the thermostat will relearn your preferences. Automatic Eco Temperatures will resume within a few days.

    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.
