    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.

    This was a huge improvement! I had one of the original google nest thermostats and this one is lightyears ahead of that one. The only reason I decided to even change was cause I had things from when they were all supported by the nest app. The temp sensor is pretty awesome also gives a better avg temp for my entire home.

    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.

    Purchased this to replace my existing Gen 3 Thermostat. Installation was very simple and Google does a very good job helping you out, via their online setup process, to help through installation. Screen is much easier to look at, is all one piece, and includes more information, such as weather, that is not available on the previous generation. Software is very similar to last gen, however, I did experience some technical issues with my thermostat recognizing the external temperature sensor. After about 30 minutes, it seemed to have resolved itself so usure if this will re-occur or not. Overall, highly recommend for existing or new nest users, as long as you are happy with the Google/Nest ecosystem.
