To me and you it’s not. Google’s total equity is almost 100 billion.

If I had $1 billion dollars I’d still consider a $100 big mac a bad value.

THat’s just empty calories, Nest is probably sitting on a bunch of patents that now belong to google.

It’s all good unless you live near a google data center. Come summer when google doesn’t have enough power to keep the data center cool don’t be surprised when NEST shuts your AC off. 😉
Or in our case, since we live near a yahoo data center, NEST decides to crank your AC to -30 to see if it can put yahoo in a blackout.

Lol hope this was sarcastic. All the big companies buy up smaller companies, it’s just not everyday that someone gets picked up for 3B dollars. Google isn’t going to be checking your furnace filter or chilling your house down in the winter and running the heat in the summer. The reason they get these companies and patents is to expand and innovate technology.

Has anyone proven that lowering the temperature in the house while you’re gone until you get home even saves money? Since in order to get the temps back up it will have to run for a longer than normal cycle compared to just maintaining a constant temperature?
although the greater the temperature change etc. outside temp 32 house temp 70 the more heat will transfer.
so by lowering it to 68 and outside temp at 32 still, would have a slightly slower heat transfer… One would think.

Nope nobody has ever looked into this…
You could corner the market with research into this topic.

Sry I had a lazy moment, I was hoping someone already looked into it… But what I found does prove exactly what I had written.

The pool house we just built is using one but hasn’t been installed yet. I don’t really see the point seeing as it has radiant heat flooring and has to be on all the time during winter but oh well. I guess if something fails it will tell you which is nice

Still not seeing the point of this. My 5+2 programmable takes about a minute to program, cost $30 and has worked flawlessly for 11 years now needing nothing but a couple AA batteries every 2-3 years.
