    If you really just want this for some scheduling and light smart home control, it accomplishes that well for a good price. This works best if you set your schedules up and never touch it again. Physically using it is a bit finnicky. Also, it does work on battery alone but a C wire is ideal and worth running if not a major hassle. It is not touch screen, which it tells you but will likely confuse people unfamiliar (roommates, family, guests, etc). If you want something very comprehensive get the pro or an ecobee/Honeywell.

    This is a very good smart thermostat, and it's easy to install. I've now owned 3 of them and feel they are just enough of what you need without the gimmicky 'learning' of their more expensive model.

    The Nest thermostat allows us to monitor the temperatures at our property when we are away. Saves on energy costs and helps to avoid issues with extreme temperatures.

    This product is great for those that want access away from home. I can adjust the heat for days the kids are home right from my phone at work. Easy video walk through to help install. Just make sure it’s compatible with the wiring and heating type. Sounds harder than it is once you look into online videos.

    I have limited handyman skills, but it was so, so easy to install this thermostat. My only compliant would be that the interface with the physical thermostat is a li'l tricky. But, the app is so easy to use that it sorta balances out.

    Installed and set up in about twenty minutes, routines and all. If you need the remote sensors they do not work with this model, you need the silver and black one.

    I really like the thermostat. The only reason for it not getting 5 stars, is that it disconnects from google home every month. A quick restart resolves it,but still.

    Every bit as good as the full priced (overpriced?) Nest thermostats. You're giving up nothing in functionality with this one. Maybe a little in aesthetics but only if you're a fan of the traditional Nest design.

    Excellent and not super expensive smart thermostat. Most electric providers even give discounts for the product which makes the price even more appealing. I have installed 3 of these and they are very easy to install, the instructions are very easy to follow.

    I bought this to replace nest 3rd generation because I didn't like the integration of Nest App vs. the Google Home App (Home/Away almost never worked). I like the fact I can program the temperatures and the home/away works great.

    Overall works very well and is very energy efficient. Don't have a C wire which makes it so the motion sensor does not work when you approach it or the fan will not turn on when the thermostat is on but besides that is works fine.
