    It works great if you have a 3 or more wire boiler or furnace. There is an adapter that is not included and works just ok. I used these and they work well with Google Home. The only issue is if you have a 3-wire system. I finally converted mine to a 3-wire system. Boiler people I've used do not like to use them on a 2 wire system. You should really switch to a 3 wire system but that will cost you.

  • With common wire installed, everything was fine.

    During installation I got an E294 error. Some research suggested that in spite of the Nest thermostat saying no common wire was necessary it appears in my case it was. The bad news is that the unit "remembered" the setup and there was no way to "factory reset" the unit according to Nest Support. So I returned it and got a replacement. With the common wire installed the installation went fine.

    This is my first smart thermostat and it doesn't disappoint. I can make adjustments anytime, anywhere from my phone or using my nest hub max. But what I love the most is the data the thermostat record of my energy usage. This is where it really shines if you want to make routines based around the day or time of year. If you want full control then get the Learning version, but for the rest of us this sku is perfect. I got it for the sale price making it worth it alone for the energy saved.
