Google Nest Hub 2nd Gen in Chalk + Nest Thermostat in Sand

A Whole Lot of Technology In a Little Package

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The G2 Nest Thermostat has an incredible amount of features in a little circle and it looks great on the wall also. It is small and sleek and the chalk color blends in light colored walls. Pictures of the mirrored dial really do not do it justice; the mirror actually allows the G2 to blend into the surroundings. The screen is blank except when you are changing the temperature which helps it blend in even more. The thermostat is so easy to inst...

Solid Nest Product (update available though)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m a huge fan of Google Nest products and most of our smart home system is on their stack. I had the Nest Thermostat E at another home before installing the Gen2, and it was interesting to see the differences. Installation wise, the two products are nearly identical. As with other Nest products, it was easy to follow the instructions. We just unscrewed the old thermostat, snapped in the 5 coloured wires, screwed it back on and everything tu...

Nest is the way to go!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first experience with a smart thermostat and I was really excited to get this installed and tried out. Prior to getting this thermostat, check to make sure your system is compatible. There are youtube videos you can watch that make it really clear. If you don’t do this, when you begin installation, the app will also have you check. The google app literally walks you through every setup step. We turned all the power off in the hous...

Professional installer not needed!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation was so much easier than I anticipated. I expected that there would be paper instructions included. However, the app walked me through every step including disconnecting the wires in my old thermostat and connecting them to the Nest. It even had me take a photo of the existing configuration before disconnecting anything. The only trouble I had was connecting my Google Home account with Nest. I didn’t previously have an account with ...

A good upgrade for our thermostat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Nest Thermostat G2 is perfect for our needs. Our house is already equipped with a programmable thermostat and for 10+ years it has worked for us. We have an upstairs and a downstairs control panel. We've never really wrestled with changing the setup that often - we live in Houston, Texas - and there is pretty much maybe a month or two, in each and every year that we have to switch between heating and cooling.. but most times we are cooling...

The Leader of SMART AC/Heat Thermostats!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been a user of Google Nest thermostats since the first general was released. I had recently bought a new house and the builder had installed another brand of automated AC thermostats. I quickly replaced all four thermostats with NEST Thermostats. I replaced three with the G3 and the one in my Media Room with G2. I chose the G2 for the Media Room as I just needed simple controls w/o the learning capabilities of the G3 as this room is n...

Installed it myself

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I specifically purchased this thermostat because I wanted to be able to install in myself, saving money on having someone come out and do the install. It was really helpful to have a way to check and see if it would even work by going to g.co/nest/works and seeing if my system was compatible. This particular model does require 2 AAA batteries which from what I can tell serve as a backup for power should you not have a C wire to power the device...

Stylish and Functional

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for over a week now and have really enjoyed the thermostat. It was easy to set up and pair with the app. It looks great on the wall with the mirrored finish too. It blends in nicely with the wall, but also gives a subtle pop of technology, which is a nice look in my opinion. The new touch "dial strip" works fine, but if you're accustomed to the older style Nest as myself, you have to remind yourself not to turn the entire ...

Working Well So Far

Purchased this on Saturday 26 Dec, installed next day. Five stars for ease of installation. Just be careful with the wiring, I had to do some trimming since they were so long. Still too long, but they tucked nicely into baseplate. Make sure bare wires, if any, don't touch. Replaces my 20+ yr old Honeywell Chronotherm III which started to malfunction. If you have lousy WI-FI or no desire for remote access, don't waste your money on one of these Nests. Initial setup went well and I soon had heat ...

This is so great!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this to replace our circa 1980 thermostat. Because we like to sleep in a cold room, but want to get up to a warnm house there was uch arguing over who was fgoing to brave the cold house to turn up the heat. (midwest winters are not for the timid). We also liked to turn down the heat when we were at work or away, but again, did not like coming home to a cold house. The Nest G2 has solved all that and more. Installation took DH less than...
