    Wonderful addition to in-laws home

    My in-laws had troubles reading and using their old thermostat (which still needed to be switched from heat to cool). So, I installed this updated version of the thermostat I have been using for the last few years. It was easier to install than I remember and now I can control their HVAC for them. No more accidentally setting it to an insane temperature and then just dealing with it because they don't want to be a bother. Now, I just set it at a range I know they both like and walk away. No need to swap from heat to cool, it does it on its own. And if they feel uncomfortable, I can remotely change the settings for them.

    Best investment you can make for thermostat. Looks great. Installed in 10 mins. Helps control the home temperature in more ways than an old programmable thermostat would. I can even monitor status when I am away. You can edit schedules right from your phone.

    The Nest is simple to install, setup, and monitor remotely. I’ve really enjoyed having them in our main house and second mountain home.

    Install was easy and worked great for the most part. Like that it has replacable AA batteries so no need to run an additional power wire. Didnt give it 5 stars because it IS NOT COMPATIBLE with the nest sensor. I mean come on... what kind of nickle and dime nonsense it this from Google???? If you want to use the sensor (so that it reacts to the temp of a particular room instead of the thermostat location) you will have to spend $150 more on the higher end model. Simply poor customer UX.

    This smart thermostat was sort of a pain. First, it's a Nest but doesn't work with the Nest app. To connect it to our Google home collection of devices, took multiple tries without a clear reason as to why it couldn't save/ add the new device. We finally added it and it's fine. Does the job, easy to set up temperature preferences and schedules. Very basic, clear display. We bought the wall plate separately, which is way huge, but necessary to install. Overall satisfied with the purchase. We also own the more expensive Nest Thermostat and this one is easier to set up schedules, has every feature we actually use.

    Easy set up in app and ability to set different modes. No issues with using remotely via app which has come in handy to adjust settings/temp when gone for longer period of time. My only dislike is system turns on when WiFi is off/disconnected and cannot control from wall unit. Also wish there was a lock feature so my child can’t adjust wall unit. Got it for $1 with comed savings so we are happy for that price but not sure I would keep it if paying full retail.

    I bought two Google Nest thermostats to replace the 10-year old units I had, one of which was not working. Installation was easy. They work great. They can tell you outside temp, indoor temp, and humidity. Haven't really used the app to run them. But, I like that the option is there. And can't tell if I'm saving any energy because it's been 100 or more degrees outside for days on end. But, the potential is there for when this insane weather subsides. Also, I didn't get the optional backing because they cover up the hole that was in the wall already and the backing plate was unnecessary.

    I’ve been using the Google Nest Smart Thermostat in Snow for a few weeks now, and I really like it. The setup was a breeze, and I love being able to control the temperature from anywhere with my phone. The Snow color looks sleek and modern in my home, and the energy-saving features have already lowered my utility bills. Overall, I’m really impressed with this thermostat.

    Replaced an old thermostat with the Google Nest Thermostat. It was a breeze to install and setup as google directions on the app walk you through it step by step! Looks Great on the wall and so easy to use via the google app and also with my Alexa app. Great product.

    The product was easy to install being. I already had one and our other home. Unfortunately, there was not a backup plate to cover the thermostat that was taken off. The description on the box made it appear that there was a backup plate however we had to buy that item separately.

    Great little thermostat. Not sure what the expensive one does but this does the trick. You can turn it on and off from anywhere. You can create a schedule. What more one needs?

    This Nest works really well with the newer Google Home app. I liked the choice of color. This is called Sand although it looks a little more blush on the wall. But it is in the basement with the walls painted Sea Salt so keeping with the theme. My granddaughers like that when the walk up to it is like a small mirror. I like that at night I can set the temp from upstairs! Rebate eligible.

    My thorough experience as a first-time Nest-er.

    I’ve had the nest for about two weeks now and so far everything is going well. I love the fact that I can check the temperature in the house when I’m at work and also lower it when I go to bed or when I’m not going to be home. I thought you would be able to set alerts for when the temperature goes above or below a predetermined setting but you are not. My heat-only system didn’t have a c wire so I purchased an adapter online (NOT the nest power connector) to power the nest and it has been working great. I’m so satisfied I purchased another one for my second zone. As an added bonus I was able to get a rebate from my power company, too. The install was fairly straightforward but not without its issues. It took a few tries for the nest to detect all of the wires which was a bit frustrating because the wires are supposed to be “locked in” by little tabs on the unit but not every wire was able to be “locked in” and still detected by the unit. If the adapter wire was ran behind the wall it might have made that easier but I am not too sure. Since the unit has been working ok that is a project for another day as I am not too bothered by the exposed wire to the outlet. It’s important to note that I am not an electrician or very “handy” when it comes to DIY projects but I am generally able to figure it out between the instructions and YouTube/Google. The setup process for Google products has always been a headache for me and this was no different. Luckily, customer service was open late to assist me and get the device setup. The issue that I was having was the google home setup process kept failing at the very end saying “something went wrong.” I had the most recent version of the app and tried all the troubleshooting steps like factory reset of the nest, phone reset, with no success. Surprisingly, the customer service rep had me turn off cellular data on my cell phone and restart the setup process with just Wi-Fi on and that worked to complete the setup. Who knew!?!? Overall I am very satisfied with the entire experience and would recommend the nest to anyone looking for a smart thermostat. The install process didn’t require a high level of skill to complete just a bit of finesse. The manner in which the app walks you through the entire process is easy to follow. Another important note is that this is my first smart thermostat so I have not had experience with the prior nest app/device. The google home app is intuitive and simple and makes using the nest a breeze. The nest device also shows the indoor humidity level and current outside temperature which is pretty neat.
