    Not as fully functional as the higher cost model, but a nice option if you are seeking remote access via phone.

    1 star because of the following: 1. No wall plate. I needed to patch up the wall where my old thermostat was hooked up. The previous Nest Thermostat I bought came with a wall plate which was perfect. 2. Controls. I had to swipe up and down the side of the thermostat. What if my fingers were greasy? It's kinda annoying. Again, the older Nest Thermostat is better because it has a dial. Easy to change the settings. I could rotate the dial with my forearm if I was a piece of fried chicken. 3. I don't know why but it doesn't work with the Nest app. It says go to Google Home app for installation and control. Installation was easy but the Nest app for me is SUPER USER-FRIENDLY! The thing I liked the most is how easy I can schedule the temperatures during the day/night. Google Home app is freaking confusing! GOOGLE should do something about it. Probably the only thing I like about it is it's very shiny. I can see my reflection whenever I pass by. And oh, BTW, the screen turns up when it senses me coming. That's why I gave it a star. If it weren't for that, I'll give it a negative 1! If I could only return it, I would. Hey I could but I don't want the hassle anymore. I don't want to return things, like my wife and my kids.

    The worst tech experience I have ever had

    As of this writing, I have been fighting for a YEAR to get this thing to work properly. I spent countless hours on the phone with just getting the thing to connect to the app!! Then it kept dropping power. And then the internal temperature it showed was very high so I had to pump my heat all the way up to get it to turn on and warm the house. I had heating bills over $200 last season because of this thing. And the worst part is Google has not been helpful in getting a replacement. So I am choosing another brand. Would give five THUMBS DOWN for this overpriced piece of crap.

      Hi BobbyP,

      Thanks for letting us know of your experience with the new Nest Thermostat. Sorry to hear you ran into an issue.

      The Nest Thermostat works with most systems without a common(C) wire, but some systems such as heat-only, cool-only or single stage heat pumps with/without AUX heat require a common(C) wire to work. You can find more details on which systems require a common wire here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/9246656

      We also recommend using our online compatibility checker before your purchase to make sure the thermostat works for you. You can find it here: https://store.google.com/us/widget/compatibility/thermostat

      We're always working to improve your experience with our products and services. If you need any help, we'd be happy to assist you here: https://support.google.com/googlenest/gethelp Nest

    I liked it...until I didn't. After only a few days, it stopped sensing my presence and would not light up without tapping it. Had to have an HVAC guy come out who told me he replaced or repaired more of these than any other brand. The device and app were great until it stopped about a week later. Switched to a competitor and problem is now solved.
