    It would easily be a five but it wasn’t able to be installed due to the lack of a c-wire connection. I now have to buy additional components and install it myself

      Hi xantosshado, thanks for informing us about the issue. We´re sorry to hear that your Nest Thermostat requires a common (C) wire.

      Nest Thermostat gets its power from your HVAC system’s wiring. There are cases where these wires can't deliver enough power to support the Nest thermostat's features, then they start draining the batteries and disconnect from your Wifi network. In such cases, installing a common (C) wire between your HVAC and Nest thermostats can resolve the battery drain problem.

      For any other questions you may have, we're ready to assist you if you could visit our page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I do not recommend this thermostat. It it unable to keep my bedroom at a comfortable temperature. The room is always too hot or too cold, and I have to manually override the thermostat. For example sometimes when the temperature in the room is several degrees above the set level the air conditioning does not come on.

    It had taken me a long time to decide if I wanted one of these thermostats. I started making my home more automated and wanted to add this to my system. Wish I hadn't waited. It's a great product that has so many useful features. Love being able to set schedules to bring down my Heat Pump's use and bills. It has done just that and with prices only going up it will continue to pay dividends into the future. No looking back on this purchase.

    I would just get the better Nest learning thermostat. I have several at home that work fine with my heating system this one does not get power even with the adapter it did not work. The Nest learning thermostat is a bit more money but works fine right out of the box.

    Do not buy this version of thermostat unless you want to continue to change the temperature in your house. I have owned other Nest thermostats and have been able to manage them as needed to work for everyone's comfort in the house. These are not that flexible and no matter how you schedule them, they will always go into ECO mode. This has been by far the worst purchase I have made in a while.
