The price point of these make it good for a multi zone system. I have a boiler system, so it is unfortunate it doesn't have the smart logic for it, like the high end ones. Also a pain there isn't a central way to schedule multiple thermostats

This skill works well with the exception of it lacking explanation for setup (not easy). The Nest device you wish to control has to be verbally referred to as it is set up in your Nest account. For example, my Nest thermostat was in my hallway and during setup with the Nest app, it asked where the device would be located so it was named "Hallway." After Alexa wouldn't successfully follow through with commands I became frustrated and wondered why it wouldn't work by simply saying the suggestion from the skill description. After several tries, I wondered if I needed to say, "Alexa turn the 'hallway' to 72 degrees"instead of temperature. Thankfully Nest allows you to change the name of the thermostat in settings. Go to Nest app >> Settings >> Thermostat >> Where >> Label (and name it what you prefer to say to Alexa). It seems odd to say "hallway" because I don't just want the hallway temperature changed, so I labeled mine "thermostat." I'm happy to confirm I can now ask, "Alexa... change the thermostat to 72 degrees" and she'll reply, "Setting Hallway, Thermostat AC to 72 degrees." The most rewarding part is after the low tone, I almost instantaneously hear the AC come on!

Works good. Easy to set up and connect to internet. Works good with iPhone app. Easy to control from app and physically on the thermostat. The display is bright crisp and clear. Just make sure your home has correct wiring for connecting it.

Very good product with easy installation. Very simple to use from the App.

I had a few issues with this thermostat that caused me to return kt. Foest off: Good luck trying to find out which generation this is. I had issues finding a temperature sensor for another room that is compatible, because its not clear what model this unit is. Second off: Installing the unit is fairly straightforward, but the google home app is awful to use. If you set up the unit without wifi you will need to remove it completely from your home app, factory reset the unit, and start from the beginning. In the end: For the price and with the California Smart Thermostat rebate (free $75 coupon) its not the worst product, but for what I’m looking for it just doesnt cut it. This is great if you want a sleek looking thermostat with somewhat reliable smart features

I didn't have the write wire to connect this to my HVAC system. If dont have a "c" wire, it wont work. Got it connected to the thermostat and it worked fine for 5 mins, on the cool setting then switched over to heat. That's when I figured out we were missing a wire. The design is not my favorite. You control the settings my by the small touch buttons on the side. It's kind of a pain in the butt. Other than that, it's sleek and definitely nicer to look at then traditional thermostats.

This is my second nest. We finally replaced the old Honeywell. This product makes regulating the heat in the home so much easier. We saw a 10% decrease in our heating bill because we were able to regulated the heat better with this device. Highly recommended.

Great profuct, we love it at house because we can control it even not being at home

Not good, not bad. If you’re on the fence on the $300 Nest or this one. Go with the $300. I had the $300 nest and it gave out after about 2 years, saw this one and thought it would be ok. It was, for the most part. The user interface is not as easy as the original and there is no additional thermostat support. I use to have a thermostat sensor upstairs and at the back of my house, now I have only the thermostat on the wall. Save your time and get the original Nest

Good design, the batteries should be rechargeable and recharged internally. Otherwise, everything is fine, but perhaps the look of a clock like a screen like the Nest Thermostat is missing.

I am very pleased with this purchase. It works seamlessly with the app and allows us to connect to our local energy company to get reward for energy conservation. Great buy!

Always wanted a Nest and finally got one! Great value and so very easy to use!

The Google Nest Smart Programmable Wifi Thermostat is a solid option for the price. It’s easy to install, and the sleek Snow finish looks great in any home. However, if you’re planning to install it on a metal box, make sure to get the metal plate, as it’s required for proper installation.

Sounds like you found a smart home gem! It's fantastic that the product offers great value, ease of use, and compatibility—especially when you catch it on a promotion. Setting aside time for installation seems like a good investment considering all the features and convenience it brings. Checking compatibility in advance is a smart move to ensure everything works seamlessly with your existing system.

I do not have central air conditioning and as such, did not feel that I needed the more advanced features that the learning Nest model offers. So I purchased this model instead and am very satisfied with it so far. It's extremely intuitive to use and I love being able to not only actually program my heat (I had an old mechanical thermostat before this), but also to be able to control it remotely in case I'm gone for extended period of time. A word of advice for anyone looking to install this themselves, make sure to take full advantage of Google's compatibility checker ahead of time and learn the wiring of your HVAC/current thermostat first. I needed to have a C wire in order to use this product and while this wire was in the wall with the other two wires that my old thermostat used, the C wire wasn't actually connected to anything. I had to connect it to the new thermostat but also find it on the other end and connect it to the terminal on my boiler. If the wire didn't already exist in the wall, I believe I would've needed to run new wiring in order to use this product. The point being, setup was actually pretty easy but required me to have a deeper understanding of the wiring in my house first. The only potential con I would point out is the mirrored surface of the thermostat. If you plan to install this on a wall that gets a lot of lot or is otherwise very visible from other parts of the room, the reflective surface may bother you. Also, make sure to check with your local utility company as they may offer a rebate on this and/or other models! I was able to save an additional ~$30 by submitting for a rebate after purchasing.

Very easy to install. Take your time when programming it on the spp the first time. It will take about 30 minutes to program.

Really nice to be able to monitor and control the temperature remotely. It is very sleek and non-intrusive on the wall.

Works, but it is worth getting the better one. I had the other one and was being a little cheap and regret it. If I could exchange it I would. Oh well.

I mean I guess technically you don't have to go with Google as your tech daddy of choice, but whoever you choose, getting their smart thermostat is basically a no brainer, because of how much you can save on electricity / fuel; for an economy version i'd rank this at S-tier; seemless integration and connectivity

The best thermostat. love to able to precool the house before arriving home
