Google Nest Learning Thermostat - 3rd Generation - Mirror Black

My husband and I received a Nest thermostat for Christmas and it is a gift that will keep on giving! I always thought the product was cool, but was hesitant to invest this much money thinking I would also have to re-wire my home. So I was pretty pleased to see that installation took less than 30 minutes (from removal of our old thermostat to installation of the Nest and completion of the on-screen setup). So far so good - we don't use the App, but have set up our heating schedule and it is all pretty intuitive. I also like that the screen is backlit since I used to need a flashlight to view and adjust the temp on our old digital thermostat. So far I would highly recommend it!

This is so much better than my previous Wi-Fi connected Thermostat. I love the convenience and it has some wonderful features especially the history feature which allows me to see how much energy I’m using each day. May I add great customer service as well

The nest thermostat allows you to control your thermostat . It allows you to program it for your needs . I always lower it at bed time and higher it when I'm up . You can also program it for automatic . What's nice is you can control the thermostat right from your phone

I live the easy to read interface; the intuitive controls; the remote control, schedule and monitoring from virtually anywhere with the smartphone app; and the way it intelligently "learns" our usage habits and updates the schedule to anticipate what we do most often. My only detraction is that once in a great while, it drops its wifi connection and I have to reset, but that's a minor annoyance. This is an amazing upgrade over the ugly, basic and boring previous stat we had!

Liked that could get a Google Nest 3rd Generation Learning Thermostat shipped quickly directly to my home during a cold winter. The existing thermostat failed, but local Home Depot %26 Lowe's, as well as Amazon only offered the newer 4th Generation model. Other suppliers had much longer promised delivery times. So quickly getting a one-for-one replacement saved me a lot of time and effort to restore heat to a major part of my home as I have a multi-thermostat setup based on the 3rd Generation devices.

Install was very easy. This was the first step in preparing for a new HVAC system. Cool that it gives outside air temperature and temps into the rest of the day. Not sure that this is all that beneficial to keeping the house temperature where it is needed, but cool none the less.

Does not require a C cable which is why I bought it. It is super easy to install and you can connect it to the app and adjust your thermostat from anywhere with Internet connection. I've used it from outside the country too.

Seller sold a non functional used thermostat as new. I called Google Nest because it wouldn't set up because of a battery problem. I was told the warranty period for the thermostat expired in 2017! It was already used not new as advertised!!!!!! At least Walmart refunded my purchase price.

I'm sure they're great if they're compatible. I did use the online resource to look at wiring and "confirm" my two systems were compatible before I ordered. After hours on my own and then on the phone with support, I find out that they are NOT compatible, after all. One furnace they told me just from the model number. Could have saved me that trouble before I even ordered if that info had been online as part of the check.. The other furnace was NOT on their list of incompatibles, so we went through a lot of testing before the tech finally sent me to the next level of support. Upon hearing the explanation of what was occurring (so like two minutes into him being on the phone), his reply was, "If that's what it's doing, it's incompatible. We're still finding some and adding to the list." So three thermostats went back. Get the model number of your equipment and call before ordering to get another level of verification over the online wire check... Hopefully, you don't fall into the "not on the list, yet" category... OF NOTE - My issue was with Ring. The supplier did a great job of sending and then accepting return of the units.

I have two thermostats ready so I prepared just the third and I've had nothing but trouble trying to set it up and get it to work. It keeps saying the batteries need to be recharged. It's a piece of junk. I need to take it back. Would not recommend the generation three Nest thermostat
