Nest Thermostat

I just wanted to share with you all how much I enjoy our new Nest thermostat.

It is unlike anything I've ever seen or used; I sell honeywell stats at work, but the Nest will blow any of those out of the water. We do not sell the Nest because customers can buy them as cheap as we do.

Anyways, you "train" your Nest for the first two weeks that you have it. While your doing this it builds a schedule based around when you leave, wake up, go to sleep, etc.

For example, we like to keep the house cooler at night while we sleep and set the stat to 63*. However, when I wake up 63* just doesn't cut it.

So the first two mornings I have the thing I wake up at 5:45am and change the temperature to 68* from my Iphone (in my warm bed). Now after a couple days it automatically turns the heat on around 5:30-5:45ish to warm the house before I get up.

The auto-away sense is a very cool feature as well. It senses when no one is at the house and turns down the temp to whatever you set the away temp to. We set ours to 62* while we are away; however, whenever I arrive home from work it is at the temperature I've turned it to the past couple of days -66*.

This is definitely not like the programable stats I've used in the past. Just wanted to share incase anyone hasn't seen/heard about these things.

They are $250 a pop which isn't too bad for a new wireless T-stat. I beleive it is worth every penny and will end up paying for itself within the first year of having it.

Here's the website:
