mine is a pita if you want to disrupt program. programming it is less simple than it should be but at least that only needs to be done once

hell yea!!!
works great… now it has “learned us and the house” and it notifies us how long it will take to get to that temp…
Say if you get out of work early, and your heat doesnt go up until 5:00 to 69, and you get home at 2:00 with temp at say 62…

^ This. Maybe it’s because the wife and I have pretty set M-F schedules but my basic programmable 5+2 (M-F get the same schedule, Sat, Sun can be set independently) works just fine. You can get ones where each day is set individually but again, no need being M-F salary people.
Honestly I don’t care if it’s saving me money or not and I doubt it’s making that much of a difference. I just like it cooler at night when I’m sleeping but being able to hop out of bed to a nice warm house.

my thermostat is a piece of cake to program… to temporarily change it, you just hit the “warmer” or “cooler” button to desired temp. It goes back to the program on the next mode change or I just hit “run program” when I leave… From my current thermostat, I doubt there is really a whole lot more savings based on the schedule of my HVAC system. If that thing saved me $50/year I’d be surprised. So 5 in 5 years I break even on it. No thanks.

We’ve had one in our house for over a year. I will tell you that the thing definitely learns your schedule and knows when you’re home and not home. I have no idea what it has saved us bill-wise but it’s gotta be something. Being able to turn it on from your phone when you’re headed home from vacation/out for a few hours so the house is warm/cool when you get home is awesome. Nest turns on much faster than the old thermostat, too.
Wiring it up was easy. It was designed by someone from apple which I could tell right away because of how simple it is.
Plus, it looks way better on the wall compared to normal thermostats.

I would need three and if I’m not home why would I need to connect to my thermostat? I’m only interested in the temp where I am.

Currently they would have access to a pretty good history of when you are home or not…as the nest develops further im sure they will add co2 sensors and such then it will know how many people are in the house and when…you can figure out a lot with a sophisticated thermostat.

I think they are cool, but not $250 cool, especially when I can do essentially the same thing from a $30 tstat because I’m not a tard and know how to program it. $220 buys a lot of gas, I doubt Nest saves $220 in a few years time compared to a normal programmable one.

People like tech shit the same reason people pay $500+ for an iPhone vs a free flip phone.
Macbook pro vs poverty dell
Nice cars vs Honda civics
etc
etc
As far wireless/phone controlled thermostats Nest is one of the best.

First Google buys war robots and now shitty unencrypted wifi thermostats? Money is burning a hole in their pocket it seems.

First thermostats, then eventually security systems, then most likely a house hold operating system, throw a robot butler/heath care aide and sooner than later you’re going to have T-1000.

I don’t have one but if you cross shop them with other “modern” and wifi enabled ones they have a similar price point.
If Nest made home security systems that integrated the smoke detectors, thermostat, and everything else into one app and one package it would be full of win.
