    I only use this for my heat as we do not have central air. I have a very basic miller furnace with only 2 wires coming to thermostat no C wire. All you have to do is buy an adapter plug into an outlet and wire as instructed. It needs constant power for the wifi, but it is a life saver sometimes being able to ask google home or change on the phone when the heat is to low or to high(I know lazy) but depending how big your house is, if you have stairs let this make your life easier.

    Works well even away from the house, seems to activate the furnace or air almost immediately. Might be off a degree or two saying it’s 70 when it’s closer to 68. But I think it’s programmed to try and be energy efficient. Which Doesn’t bother me at all honestly, I’m surprised I have had zero issues with this thermostat. Google home app works great, I guess Technology is finally making real advancements in smart devices. what a wonderful time we live in, now if we could just get everyone on the same page humanity might have a fighting Chance.

    Love the Nest products. However, skip this one and buy the better higher end product. I do not like the side controller. Not very intuitive. Also, cannot connect remote sensor.

    I love the way it works and looks The only issue I have is that it tries to be too smart and set a learned schedule for me. I come back and the ac is turned down. And sometimes it’s good and sometimes in wonder who is operating it. I keep asking my wife is she’s messing with it. I’ve tried to turn it off but it sometimes has a mind of its own

      Hello JohnRINGO, thanks for giving us time to share your feedback on Nest Thermostat. We’re glad that you love the way it works and looks, and are sorry to hear of your difficulty with managing the temperature settings.

      Only the Nest Thermostat E and Nest Learning Thermostat can use Auto-Schedule, and is not available for the Nest Thermostat, so it cannot automatically adjust its temperature schedule. Instead, you can enable Savings Finder to get suggestions to adjust temperatures in the schedule and help save energy.

      When you manually adjust the temperature, the temperature will stick until the next scheduled temperature change. With a temperature preset, you can easily set a specific temperature that you repeatedly use a bit faster than manually adjusting the temperature dial. Besides using ready-made presets like Comfort, Eco, and Sleep, you can create custom presets. This is helpful for other times you might like a specific temperature that’s not included in your thermostat’s existing presets. Check this link to learn more:

      If you want to set your thermostat on temperature hold to maintain specific temperature for as long as you want, please see the steps below:
      - In the Menu view, select Hold temperature.
      - Select Current temp or Eco.
      - Choose a time. You can scroll up and down to edit the time by half-hour blocks.
      If you’re using the Eco preset, you can also choose None to hold the temperature indefinitely until you end the hold. For other presets, your thermostat can hold the temperature for up to 24 hours.
      - Select Confirm.
      If you want to make changes to the temperature but there’s a hold, the app or thermostat will tell you that you need to end the hold first.

      Besides having online help available at Google Nest Help center, we also have a dedicated team of specialists always ready to provide assistance through our support channels here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    The Nest thermostat works as expected. Very well made and it looks even better in person. The setup was easy and everything was done through the app with guides to help you with the installation. This is the thermostat to get.

    Works well and easy setup. Been a month of using it and good for a smart and cheaper thermostat that you just wifi connectivity and easy operation. One thing i noticed is that the thermostat would not start heating immediately when there is a drop in temp below theresold.. still learning its behavior

    So far I haven’t had any issue with it . I purchased it before the summer months to try out. It’s great, you can adjust schedules for it. And have multiple people on the app. I installed it myself. Just make sure to shut off power to install. So far it’s been great.p

    can sign up for the Nest Leaf program, which will essentially auto-correct your thermostat if you want during peak or non-peak times. We've noticed it drops the temp during the nights, but that doesn't seem to bother us as much as it gets back up to temp in the mornings as we wake. We also got a $100 rebate for this from Ameren upon filling out a rebate with them, so it's essentially paid for.

    Nice to be able to control my thermostat from anywhere. Make sure you do not go with the pre made schedule they set for you in the setup process or it will change the temperature on its own.

    If you spend another $100, you can get a learning thermostat if that is what you need. That device comes with a scroll wheel and a metal body. That device also supports extra sensors for separate rooms, if you have a big house. However, I have an old and small house. So this thermostat works for me. I have been thinking to get a smart thermostat for years now, but also didn't want to spend too much. This device works for me.
