Ok lets get into this.

I have a few contacts within nest that are developers. I've been working with them for a year now to try and get the nest compatible with my AC system. From what I understand is a lot of their support for 3rd part home hubs are going to loose Nest support, but the Nest isn't going anywhere as they are working on Nest 5.2.X software updates already. If development stops making software updates the hardware support will stop. I reached out to a few this morning to confirm that nothing is going on, plus I want an update on my request anyways.

I miss my Nest, a lot. It's so easy to use. Easier to install then any other thermostat. And after a few weeks you rarely have to touch it as it just seems to know exactly what temp you want to be at. I love the fact it knows when you are gone, when you get home, and how much money it saved me. Around $40 a month on average was my savings on my old unit when using the Nest. It's also the best looking thermostat in the market IMO.

I currently have 2 of these installed at my cabin and it's a total waste because nobody is there most of the time. So it can't really learn anything and I have to disable all the learning features and it's ability to to self adjust. It's now only a WiFi thermostat that I can manually adjust.

If you are a person who has a pretty set schedule the Nest is going to work great for you. It will cool down the house before you wake up, get home, etc. When you are gone for the day, weekend it knows not to run the AC unit. But if you are a person who works from home, or doesn't work a set hours, then the Nest may be overkill for what you need. Also if you have large dogs and the Nest is in an area where it can see them move around a lot it will think it's a person and it won't learn right.

Over all I always tell people this about the Nest. "If you want a great thermostat, that is easy to install, easy to setup, works wonders, saves money on your monthly bill, and is the sexiest thermostat around, Get a Nest".

I thought we had moved on with life. I guess it's still not hashed out.

Dude, the last 7 months. I hate all those "fast" shitty places you call offroading. It's just asking for trouble! People get into accidents all the time down in Sycamore anyway. I took out a cattle guard sign because I was going too fast around a corner.

Let's see how far you can get in that Peerunner on a real trail. You'll shread tires left and right before I do. 4x4 motherfucker!!!!!!

C,
How do u like your unit that you installed from last summer- 24 seer? Variable speed?
Thanks for the review of the nest been thinking about that. 2 a/c units are kinda a pain in themselves.

I pray my ancient Trane 12 seers make it through October- lol

We need to fling some arrows soon!

I have the ecobee thermostat, picked it up over the Nest for the remote sensors. I can put them in every room and have the system use an average temp from each. Or I can tell it at night to ignore the living room and just average the temp on the 3 bedroom sensors.

Zona Scout · May 27, 2016

Damn it, I missed the drama.

Are u running the ecobee with 1 ac unit? How many sensors come with it? Or are those extra?
Thx,

So much to read!

BDMcGuire · May 27, 2016

Monday Memorial Wheeling Day: breakfast to meet up, trails from there. I'm not super familiar with all the trails in AZ yet so I'd like to hear some suggestions. I'll find a breakfast joint once we decide a trail.
Add yourself to the list:

1 AC unit. It comes with one sensor with user changeable battery. You can but more sensors.

It and the nest are very similar, the nest learns and the ecobee can use remote sensors.

The ecobee app is very easy to use.

You should probably start a thread for Monday and start tagging folks. @christhebassman wanted to do Turkey Creek, which I think is north of Roosevelt lake.
