    Works as advertised. It cost me less than $60 with Oncor discount code. I give it five stars overall because I saved money buying it and now I'll save money on energy consumption. It won't learn like the other one but it will have schedules that you customize to your preference.

    im Laughing hard at all the pictures provided of peoples walls and the rigging done in some, some crooked AF etc. plus the fact that it works no different than a standard thermostat, i dont need to control it from away, a good programmable thermostat will do that on it's own, what a waste, all the sheep jumping on the bandwagon

    A must have for any home

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have this and use it in conjunction with the more expensive "learning" thermostat. Why do I have two different ones? Because they were both the last one's on the shelf. My first time using this was in my last apartment. Due to it's "smart" capabilities, which help reduce energy usage from your heating and air system, it essentially pays for itself within the first month's usage. Now in my newly bought house, I had to change out from the old school thermostat back to this one. At first, I was gonna be cheap and just keep the old ones; however, I end up paying for it in the result of high electric bill. I quickly went to the store and got this one (along with the learning thermostat), and have noticed immediate results. I expect buying this will pay for itself within the next month or two.

    Works Great, but needed a C-Wire

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Well, I wanted to upgrade my thermostat for remote control capabilities. While it said it doesn't require a C-wire, but in my case I still needed one and my older system didn't have it or a way to add one. For those with the same issue, I fixed mine with a C-wire transformer that only takes a few minutes to plug up with an outlet. So there is is a way to make it work. After that, it's running great and I am very happy with the upgrade. Before you make this purchase, you need to check with your existing system and understand what it will take to make it work with this Nest. Even though Google's compatibility check passed me, I still needed to add a C-wire to make it work properly. If all else ask your HVAC guy if you're able to use this.

    Question if I would buy it Again.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I had the Nest for a couple years. I have had this for Google one for a year. I love the features but my new heater was not working well. None of the heater repair people know how to use it or will touch it. The two groups of heater repair people all bad mouth it. They ultimately said it was the source of the problems although there were two things found wrong after a year of trouble shooting. One said it does not support two stage heating. If you buy this you need to have repair people who know it. Good luck in finding them. Otherwise you are between a rock and a hard place as the saying goes .

    Buyer Beware

    Review of new 2020 Nest Thermostat I bought this product through a discount program that my utility company had. I bought two of these thermostats to go along with 4 google nest "E" thermostats that I installed about a year ago. This product is far, far inferior to the nest "E" thermostats. I hired the same electrician to install it as the one that installed my 4 other nest thermostats. Very little, if anything, came in the way of installation instructions. No where does it say that you need a C wire which apparently I needed but did not know. Therefore, when installed, the thermostats gave us an error code. This error code meant that we needed more power - i.e. a C wire. However, no where does it tell you what the error code means. Certainly not in the none existent instructions. So we didn't know. The thermostat appeared to have power as it was registering temperature, etc. So I let my electrician leave (I was paying by the hour) and figured I could resolve any issues with nest support. WRONG I now have to call my electrician back to install 2 C wires. In addition, everything about this thermostat is cheap plus it comes with no mounting plate. This apparently is a $15 option which you have to buy separately. It is much more difficult to adjust and use vs the E thermostat plus it doesn't work with the Nest app (which I use and like for my google camera, doorbell and 4 other thermostats). Apparently you must use the google home app - a very poorly designed app. Google has regressed tremendously with the production of this thermostat. I thought very highly of Google and its products until I bought these two thermostats.

      Hi there, thanks for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that Nest Thermostat didn’t meet your expectations.

      In most cases, Nest Thermostats can use your system’s heating and cooling wires to power itself. However, there are cases when your system won't be able to deliver the required power anymore, especially if you´re having multiple Nest thermostats or if your system isn´t properly maintained. Having a common (C) wire helps to deliver enough consistent power to your Nest thermostats.

      If you´re willing to try, you may cross reference the error code on your Nest Thermostat by cross referencing it with his help page: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9703359

      We're hoping you will keep using your Nest Thermostat, and if ever you need help, please feel free to contact our support team here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest
