I am writing this after having the item for about a month or so now at this point. When I originally bought my house it had a standard digital thermostat that I promptly changed to a Honeywell that had great reviews. Unfortunately I was never wowed by it as it always seemed to just work OK. It would randomly reset and was slow to respond most of the time. Fast forward a year or so and I pick up this little beauty. I did the install right and patched the wall before installing this. Once wired, which the app made a breeze by the way, it was easy to set up and get going. Fast forward another month and this thing is just awesome! I have yet to have it randomly restart or do anything remotely weird. The only "issue" you could say I have had was when my wife locked the account because she forgot the password when she tried to log in after resetting her phone. Other than that it has been smooth sailing. It has just about learned my routine so I almost never have to touch it. It lowers the temp at night and brings it up a little about the time I roll out of bed and then it will raise it again when my wife gets up. It is starting to lower the temp again when she leaves for work and raises it slightly when I am due to be home. I am pretty sure that between the instructions, the app, and a little common cents anyone could install this and save themselves a good chunk of change. 10 for 10 I would definitely buy this again or recommend this to anyone looking to upgrade.

I purchased 2 Nest learning thermostats, I was not happy with it turning my heat down to 60 all the time and you have to jump through hoops to get to to stay on hold, it should have one easy step for a hold button but Nest wants to control your house. The user agreement is also worrisome, you basically sign away your rights if it shuts down your heat in the middle of winter. I love to be able to control my heat from my phone but Nest (Google) wants to control it more.

Nest 3rd generation thermostat was easy to set up. It is probably overkill for my needs, which was to replace my simple central air conditioning thermostat which broke. I bought it because it looks cool. I am not using most of the features because I am home most of the time. My only complaint is when the target temperature is with in one degree of the actual temperature, it only shows the target temperature. I always want to see both. Maybe that will change with a future update

This is a classy-looking thermostat. Installation was straightforward - just matched the wire colors to the corresponding labeled clips, inserted two screws, connected to WiFi network, downloaded the Nest app on my Android devices (can also access via browser), enabled Alexa's skill for Nest (which found the two new thermostats), and VOILA - up and running. Since it will be about a week before the thermostat 'learns' our temperature preferences, we will need to tell it what temperature we want for sleeping when we go to bed, then again tell it what temp we want when we get up each morning. There are a myriad of personalized settings (screen brightness, what you want to see when you walk by, etc.). I am anxious to see what effect this smart thermostate will have on my electric and gas bills this coming year......Read full review

I purchased this on eBay thinking it was the standard NEST Gen 3 Thermostat. Nothing on the sales ad indicated this unit was not to be sold in retail. What was sent to me was the NEST PRO which requires a professional installer for the manufacturer 2 year limited warranty to be valid. I tried to go online to become a "professional" as I am in the HVAC business as a Mechanical Gas Inspector.... NEST denied my designation. I didn't feel like going through the hassle return process. I installed it myself as I have many other types of thermostats. NO Problems, it works perfectly and is very easy to program. The app works good as well and it doesn't seem to care if the unit is the pro version or the home version. I guess I will just deal with warranty issues if that ever comes up, but I believe it will work just fine. I don't recommend the pro version because of the extra costs associated with "professional installation". It is so easy to install, I don't even know why they have a pro requirement to install. The price is no different than the "home" version in a big box store. The unit is of good quality but beware of the home version vs the pro version.Read full review
