    Pretty cool device! I’m glad I got this model and not the most expensive one. This does the job. I can change my temperature from my phone even in the middle of the night without getting out of bed or from the car on the way home from work! It’s easy set up and easy use! I love the graphs it shows of how much energy I used and how much I saved. Very reliable!

    Great product!! I purchased 3 of these to replace the older thermostats that came with my house. They are intuitive. Once you learn how to operate them you can see the current temperature, change settings, and even setup routines on the Google Home app. The mirrored finish looks very nice. The display is bright and easily readable as well. The price point is not bad either. I have a Google Nest learning thermostat as well. This one is less complicated, but doesn’t have as many features. Honestly, the features it does have are perfect considering the lower cost. My biggest complaint isn’t with the product, but the app. Google has 2 apps, the Nest app and the Home app. I prefer the Nest app, but these do not work with that one. Oh well. It doesn’t detract from the device itself. Even with that, I give it 5 stars. I will also say, if your HVAC system doesn’t have a dedicated “C” wire, you’ll need to install a transformer to feed the 24 bolts required to charge the batteries. It was super simple for me, but you may need a professional to install this if you are not a fortunate as I was.

    I love the look sucha sheek look. It was so easy to switch from the old thermostat to this new one. Check online for a rebate in your state. This qualifies for a $75 instant rebate.

    We have the older generation and replaced a different thermostat and it is definitely different from the older. No more pushing and turning. You control everything from a touch line on the side of it. After having the older one and being used to pushing it in and turning it was kinda difficult to adjust at first. I found myself using the app more than physically touching the device. Now though after a couple of months I am able to use both and mainly use only the app when I am away from the building to turn on/off the AC. Highly recommend it and works great!

    Wife and I installed this ourselves with no experience, there is wiring involved but fairly straightforward. Batteries that came in it were dead, but they charge from the power coming from your hvac system. Simple and easy to connect to our Google Nest Hub, very easy to set up and program thermostat for eco friendly use. Recommend!

    Hooked up to my system easily. I do have an error for low system voltage, but have been checking the battery every few days for almost 2 months, and had no low battery issues. Will try to update if I see a problem. All house members will need to share tracking, IF you CHOOSE to use the home/away functions. I disabled the location tracking b/c my roommate did not have it on her phone and have gone with a schedule instead.

    I Love Nest Learning Thermostat if anything goes wrong with it, you don’t have to change out the base you can just change out head very easy to set up with your phone so Airbnb’s. I would give it a thumbs up and a five star so your air-conditioning bill is not horrible every month during Booking’s.

    I have a plain vanilla Honeywell thermostat and got E260 error upon first installation try. My mistake was to connect RC wire to C at Nest base plate. RC wire from Honeywell thermostat should be connected to R at Nest. Nest installation went well after the correction and luckily no fuse is blown at the furnace.

    I like how I can control the thermostat from my phone very convenient and easy to install if you know what you doing. You definitely will need to purchase the face plate if you had a wider thermostat.

    Absolutely Love this thermostat!! Looks awesome, and responds fast when changing temps. Easy to install. Watch a few You Tube videos on it, which made it simple. We had a Zen and this just blows it away. Had to buy the back plate from Amazon, and looks good with thermostat.

    Replaced our old Thermostat for the Nest. It works great and its the first Smart decice for our house. Love how it can be controlled from my phone. It also helps save energy with the app. I will say dont use the Geek Squad as they did not do a good job installing. They blew a fuse in the furnace and said to call a pro as the nest didnt work. I They touched a wire together. The electrician told me they should have not only turned off the ac on the panel but also unplug the furnace when installing. I need to paint the wall where the old one was as it was bigger.

    Incredibly easy to install and set up! We are very happy with our purchase. I can control these through my google home app and it’s been a breeze! Opted to not get the learning model as we are a work from home family and this one is so easy to program.
