I've had the 2nd Gen version for over 8 years. it saved me a lot of money. especially since I have forced air heating and central air conditioning. the 4 modes really help a lot. (Off, Heat, Cool, Heat/Cool.) Heat/Cool mode is great for transitioning weather seasons. . the only minor negative is: the "Sensor Schedule" option. this should be able to be adjusted freely for the 4 Times of Operations. they are currently Fixed and Non‐adjustable. . 5 stars. 5 Thumbs Up 👍 👍👍👍👍 04/21/2026.

Presence sensing for home/away assist gets worse and worse. It used to turn the camera on, set the thermostat to eco, and undo that when one of us came home. Now we're lucky if it ever does it at all. The camera comes on when we leave most of the time, but it only turns off half of the time. Eco mode has to be done "manually." update 2+ years later: same. Eco mode changes itself more often now, but the camera does less, so it is about the same.

I only use this for the thermostat. It works more or less and I like the reporting, but the scheduling UI is terrible on mobile. i think it was designed for a browser. Its way too small and sensitive for the average mobile user. Initially 3 stars, but it has been this way for YEARS, so dropping to 2. Not interested in any other nest products if they can't get the simple ones right.

Learning mode does NOT work well! I have it set to 68 for heat, and it turns itself on and heats to 70. I'll turn it off at night because I don't like to be hot and I don't trust it to keep the right temp - and I'll STILL wake up to it running and heating my place to 70/71. I turned off learning mode since the previous owner said it caused nothing but problems, and it's STILL causing problems. I do love that I can adjust the temp from my phone, but I feel l have to fuss with it too much.

Owned for years and not a single improvement has ever been made. Same glitchy app it's been since day one. This company doesn't care. Bad UI, frequently disconnects from the internet, ridiculously poorly designed scheduling. "Learning thermostat" can't even follow a schedule properly. And now for LITERALLY no reason at all it keeps putting itself into eco mode and not heating my home unless I manually put it back to heating. If it wasn't so expensive I would've thrown it out years ago.
