Would Not RecommendNest has a known issue with no resolution. Hundreds of people have posted to various forums as far back as 8 years. My Nest thermostat worked great for about 1 year. Now the temperature setting means nothing. I set it at 69 and temp won't go past 63. Google had me try several things that didn't help

Nest Learning saves energy and vacation peace
Would RecommendVery easy to set up. I love that I can be away any season and am able to make changes to my heating or air conditioning as weather changes. It also saves energy on ECO mode when it does not detect motion at home.

Called our local Lowe’s and they said we would have to buy another one! It did work as advertised, loved the fact that we could monitor the temperature from our phone

This works with Google Home

Worst Product Support I've ever had
Would Not RecommendA year ago on December 30th I bought a Nest from Lowe's. Unfortunately I didn't have a lowe's account at the time, and I didn't hold onto the receipt. This was my second Nest, after having one in my last house I was hesitant, I had issues before with Nest not maintaining heating in my house due to software issues. During this time I also graduated from college and started paying for my own cell phone, losing access to my two factor authentication number. Wildly, there is no solution for this ...
