The Nest Learning Thermostat - Good or Not So Much?
We're moving our office space and doing a lot of the build-out ourselves. In our HVAC overhaul, we need to replace the manual thermostat with a setback model. So I bought a Nest b/c I read about it, and it sounded great. That, and it looks cool.
Our HVAC guy ripped it, though. 'Said that they don't work, they don't really do what they're supposed to do, 'worthless, and the company that makes them is being sued.
'Haven't done a lick of checking on any of this, but I wanted to touch base with this knowledgeable group first. Does anyone have any experience or knowledge about the Nest they can share?
TIA.
Melissa

A friend showed me an interesting site that describes what is inside the Nest thermost. Peak inside the Nest.

The Nest seems to have decent internals, now if they could only get the software finished.
