    A step back from previous Nest Thermostats

    Does not work with the Nest app (where I have all my other Nest hardware). Only works on Google Home app - returning it to the store. Also, it's not learning, it's a scheduled thermostat which seems dumbed down from previous generations of the Nest Thermostat. Pass.

    Was so excited when we upgraded our thermostat to this, however it constantly disconnects from wifi every 1-2 days. I am SURPRISED if 3 days have passed and its still connected. I don’t understand how it has all these positive reviews. Dont get your hopes up.

    I thought I would love this thing... and when it actually connects to google home it is great, but sadly it only stays connected to the internet for about 20 minutes after restarting it... making the entire thing pointless, because even when your on the same network you cant access it.

      Hi there, thanks for taking time to share your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear about the connectivity issues you had with Nest Thermostat.

      Connectivity issues for Nest Thermostat may be caused by several factors, such as Wi-Fi network congestion, distance of the device from the router, wireless interference with other Wi-Fi hotspots or devices nearby, and other Wi-FI settings.

      Dual band connection is compatible with Nest Thermostat. 2.4Ghz is more stable compared to 5Ghz, especially if there are lots of devices connected to the network at the same time.

      We’re always here to help in case you need further assistance. You may contact us through this support link: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    This is the cheaper Nest model and it clearly operates that way. I purchased this for a grandparent and it was complicated for me to even set the temperature. I would not recommend this unless you are trying to save money. The more expensive Nest is well worth it.

    This thing is awesome. Just years ago it would've been unfathomable to be able to remotely control the climate of your home while now being a reality. My favorite features are the temp schedule and knowing that I'm saving energy at times when my home is unoccupied.

    We will be returning this item. We had a new a/c unit installed and the installers always use the Nest thermostats and they told us this one was not as good. They were unable to hook it up. We will need a different brand a little more expensive and the installers will come back out at no charge to install the better one.
