  • NEST thermostat

    Anyone have it yet? I looked at it when it first became available, and maybe I didn't check the correct wires...but it said my AC/Heating system wasn't compatible. Now it says it is...and it's available at Lowes now, so if I try it and don't like it...I can return it.

    Thank you for supporting a product with TI inside. Post back with a review after you've had it awhile.

      Great so now a computer can track WHEN me and my wife have an argument. I am jealous though. My thermostat in our house has never been below 74* and the one in the video was dippin in the 60*s.
      Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

        I'd probably give it a try with a single zone. But I don't really want to spend 750 on 3 of them. They are cool though, but hopefully they decrease in price over time.

                Nest just partnered with Reliant energy. If you sign up for their Learn & Conserve plan for 24 months at 10.9 kWh you get a free Nest.

                  I'm thinking about getting one on the new house, but Denton's electric rates are so low it might not be worth it. Their website says rates are 5.7cents per Kwh in the summer months. But during winter months, you pay 5.7cents for the first 600kwh and then it drops to 3.79cents.

                      Based on 2000 kwh a month, you'll pay ~$50 a month more for that free Nest plan vs. their normal $.083/kwh plan. I would pass.

                        Anyone do an install yet? I pulled my cover off and checked the compatibility with what wires I have hooked up. It says take a picture and send it to them when I enter my wires on the website.

                        I have changed a lot of other thermostats but this one throws me (the one installed now) It has the two mercury tubes in it and the color of the wires is not in sync with the holes they are plugged in. I was going to replace this slide bar type with a digital one anyway but now I am not sure. I want to do a NEST and my system is a simple but now I am afraid of putting a normal digital one on it now after looking at it.

                          Much rather have one that is part of a full home automation system.

                            The nests really interest me, but it would take awhile to save the $500 2 units would cost to install. If anyone gets some real world numbers, I would love to see them
