    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.

    Works Great, but needed a C-Wire

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    As long as your ac/heating system isnt old, this unit will work in systems that do not have a c wire. You MUST have y, w, g, and red. The AAA batteries powers the thermostat! I hope that helps! Oh - use the trim kit for large holes

    Very friendly user interface. I much prefer Nest thermostat E to Nest thermostat. The E is lockable which is handy in rental properties. Be aware of difference between thermostat and thermostat E. It’s a shame the E is going out of production.
