Conclusion: We like it
We know, we know, who cares about their thermostat? Well, not too long ago your amazing smartphone used to be a clunky handset wired to the wall; we've come a long way, and there's no reason controlling your home's basic functions should be any more difficult than checking your email. But Nest does even more than turn on your AC: by learning your habits and your home's unique thermal profile, it can automatically save you energy in ways a standard programmable thermostat can't, and provides you an energy usage history to boot. It's gorgeous and thoughtfully designed, top to bottom, which is part of the reason why installation far less intimidating than we expected. The 2nd-generation version is even better looking than the first model, and is now easier than ever to connect to your home's heating system.

I've only had the 2nd gen Nest for a couple days but I wanted to share my thoughts. Overall I'm elated to own this product! I live in a 2-story condo with a single thermostat located on the bottom floor and being able to operate central air conditioning and heating remotely is a god-send. I can...

The coolest thing to come to energy savings tech that doesn't require an engineering degree to use

The installation was dead simple. The only concerning thing was the actual "current temperature" displayed for the first 12 hours or so seemed off by five or six degrees, but eventually everything has evened out and the thermostat is working great.

If you ever wanted to manage your home from an iPad, this is the first device to get your hands on. Installation couldn't have been made easier or simpler. I've used the Nest for about a week now, and I love reviewing my energy reports and checking to see when I'm saving energy.
