Nest Thermostat- Phaq-U

Anybody have a Nest Thermostat? Dont buy it, save your money...

Been deal with fucking heating issues in my house off and on for the last month and after 8 hours with thier help desk I got fed up and ripped the fucking POS off the wall and bought a cheap one for the time being. Biggest waste of money ever..

Apparently the way our house is wired there is a power sharing issue with the wires and because of it the house wont heat correctly. Dammit, tired of having a house 64 degrees. So fuck you Nest and your learning thermostat bullshit. Suck a donkey.

I've heard good things from friends that have em. Was planning on getting one when the house goes up in a few months.

I don't need no "learning" thermostat. I need it to do what I want, when I want.

I'll buy your unwanted Nest off of you for $20.

I decided a long time ago that I work too hard to be uncomfortable in my house. 72 in the winter, 70 in the summer.

I just haven't ever found that a programmable thermostat can't do pretty much whatever I need it to do. No interest in a Nest. I know people who have them and like them, but seems like a solution looking for a problem to me.

And I'm pretty warm-blooded, but damn . . . some of you guys keep your houses way too cold for my liking. I have our down to 65 at night and during the day when I am working from home. My office stays a lot warmer with me in it, so the house can be cool. But we have it at 70 for when the rest of the family is around after about dinner time.

wow. got 3 nest installed in 3 properties: been rock solid since day one. Only had to rewire one of the older furnace, but aside from that, they have been working great for the last 3 years....

For the last house, I wanted to try something else and installed a Sensi: huge mistake. Returned it, and got a nest.

Now, there is one feature that you MUST disable: the auto learn. It's a waste of time and you will freeze to death.

58 at night and 68 during the day at our house. Blinds and curtains closed when the sun goes down and opened when the sun comes up. Old school solar heat. Down comforters are pretty warm and there are other ways of producing heat at night.

AC is run about a week every summer whenever we get a sustained heating spell in the upper 90's. Reversing the winter blinds routine and running ceiling fans at night makes the low humidity living of Colorado pretty comfortable for someone who grew up without AC in +90% humidity back east. I almost never run AC in my car. It goes on when we are on long drives across country and we are listening to something on the radio.

I never heard of NEST or learning thermostats. They must be from the devil
