    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 new Thermostats interface is extremely beautiful. I like how it shows more information on the screen alone. The sensor is something i need to get used to but i have it in a part of my place that has no vent near it but still is apart of the place a a whole. Come to find out, may need to increase the temperatures a little bit to help accommodate the difference in areas.
