    I purchased this Google Nest Smart Thermostat on May 2, 2022. It worked for 6 months, then stopped working on November 15, 2022 during 30-degree weather. My furnace would not work when this thermostat stopped working. I was without heat for 2 days & nights while waiting for a repair man.

    I purchased this thermostat last month and had it installed. I turned the cooling on Thursday to cool my home. I was greeted with hot blowing from the vents. I can't get a tech here until Monday. Very disappointed.

    Inaccurate Humility Sensor

    Nothing but trouble from these thermostats. I bought 2 of them, one for each of our AC units. The humidity sensors are incorrect and read about 15 percentage points higher than the room actually is. I had an HVAC technician check them to be sure. After troubleshooting with Google for literally 2 hours they finally sent me two replacements. The two they sent are obviously refurbished and have the same problem. Now the screen on one of the replacements has a pixel line at the bottom. I will likely end up replacing these with an ecobee and hopefully those will work better.

    I would just get the better Nest learning thermostat. I have several at home that work fine with my heating system this one does not get power even with the adapter it did not work. The Nest learning thermostat is a bit more money but works fine right out of the box.

    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.
