No more programming, no more constantly changing the temperature. The Nest Learning Thermostat programs itself in a week to keep you comfortable and save energy.
The good
Easy to install and easy on the eyes, the Nest Learning Thermostat learns your heating and cooling preferences over time, so you don’t have to set it. Wi-Fi networking and a tasteful app let you control and monitor your Nest from afar.
The bad
At $339, the Nest is so very expensive.
The bottom line
The Nest Learning Thermostat makes home climate control, yes, interesting. With lovely design, charming extras (it reports the weather!), and integrated Wi-Fi, this thermostat of the future can restart an industry.

Features
Save energy all yearTeach Nest good habits in the first week and it'll keep them up all year long. Just turn Nest down at night when you leave the house and don't turn the temperature up too high or down too low. After a week, Nest will remember you.
Get to know each other.
After installation you need to answer a few basic question and Nest will learn when you change the temperature.
Teach Nest to save.
Nest will do what you tell it, so teach it energy saving habits: turn the temperature down at night or when you leave the house, and don’t turn the temperature too high or low.
Watch your energy use.Energy saving features like Auto-Away™ and Energy History will become available as Nest learns. Auto-Away turns heating and cooling down automatically when no one is home, saving energy when you don’t need it. Energy History shows you how much energy you’ve used daily.
Hello Leaf.
The Nest Leaf appears when you’re saving energy. Changing the temperature just one degree can cut your energy use up to 5%. The Leaf guides you in the right direction.
Nest knows you.
Nest has made a schedule for your home. One-off temperature changes won’t confuse it, but change the temperature a couple of days in a row and Nest will catch on and adjust its schedule. Lower the temperature two Mondays in a row and Nest will remember for next week.

Popular MechanicsThe Nest’s user interface is as elegant and simple as any thermostat this capable could (or should) be. … But it’s worth quibbling over the price. At $250 a pop, Nest units are five to 10 times the price of standard programmable thermostats. Jan 17, 2012. Read the review

I never thought I would say I was excited about a thermostat, but now that my Nest is installed I can’t help myself from monitoring my heat patterns and tweaking the temperature. Mar 6, 2012. Read the review

The Nest is gorgeous, elegant and very, very smart. It will keep your house at the right temperature, save you money and do some good for the planet. Put another way, it can make you comfortable in more ways than one. Nov 30, 2011. Read the review
