    I ordered two digital thermostats on 12/2222, but I only got one. It was terrible! I was really disappointed because I really needed to receive these items together and on time.

    No longer works with Nest or Alexa

    I just got this thermostat from Best Buy today. It no longer works with Nest of Alexa. It only works with Google Home. Buyer beware of updated compatibility. It it very easy to install and it looks sleek. If you have Alexa like I do, you won’t be able to integrate it, but you can control it from a mobile device, or set it on a timed schedule like I did.

      Hi CatO, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. We do apologize that your Nest Thermostat isn’t working with your Alexa.

      The new Nest Thermostat is exclusive to the Home app because we wanted to create an integrated experience. Our long term plan is to use the Google Home app as the one place you can control all of your favorite Nest and other smart home devices, as well as Google Assistant. In the near future, we’ll allow users to set up previous Nest devices and have full control in the Home app. Our team is working on bringing full functionality to the Google Home app so all of your Nest devices can be set up and controlled in one place.

      We value your feedback as we are always working to improve our products and services. If you need assistance, feel free to contact our support team. We’d be more than happy to help here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I bought 3 of these Nest Thermostats and I love them. Some people may not like that the mirrored surface picks up fingerprints which looks bad/needs to be cleaned often. But I use my phone to control them and love being able to adjust/view temperatures and usage. My townhouse has 3 floors and the temps vary a lot by floor, so the data is helpful. I'm glad I did not get the "Learning Thermostat" version. This one is perfect

    Paid for the GEEK club and still can’t schedule an installation appointment. Twice I’ve been told soon. Major disappointment in service. Have no idea on product quality if I can’t get it installed and my rebate time frame is running out.

    So far i’m loving this thermostat. Installation instructions was easy to understand which made the actual setup a breeze. had it up and running in no time. i’m enjoying not having to walk all the way on the other side of the house to adjust the temp. No issues with it so far.

    Figuring it Out, but Good!

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

    I wasn't involved in the install, so getting everything set up on my phone so I had access was a little frustrating, but I got it figured out. You definitely want to be there while it's getting installed and make sure you get access right away. One of the ones I got as low battery immediately upon installing it, which was also frustrating but a quick fix. The eco and sleep features on it are nice, but they seem to auto-heat to what I think is a pretty cold temperature, but we'll see how it goes after having them installed for a month or so. My hope is that we can lower our energy bill and still provide a good customer experience in our restaurant.

      Hey there, Khajaikramuddin. Sorry to see you're having trouble with battery life on the Nest Thermostat. Sometimes you may need a C wire or a Nest Power Connector to keep your thermostat powered or charged. The need for one one may depend on your system — here’s a link to our compatibility checker to see if one is needed: https://store.google.com/intl/en/widget/compatibility/thermostat/ madebygoogle

    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

    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.
