I received my nest on
this posting date and had it up and running in about thirty minutes. Between
the technical support and what they send you with the unit, I have to admit it
was easier than I had thought!
After I got it to communicate with the internet, the unit
downloaded an update and then went into a setup mode that was sort of spooky as
it was able to analyze my heat pump to a T. I then went to my computer and
accessed the unit online (it works in the cloud) and was also able to set it up
on my droid phone so that I can control everything from where ever I happen to be.

| Weekly schedules can be easily set up |
I was very happy with the simple interface that quickly
allowed me to set up a custom schedule that can be changed on a whim. Also,
this unit has a learning mode whereby it can figure out your heating and
cooling preferences. Pretty neat little package all told.
At some point in the future, I plan to do a post on how well
I feel the Nest performs overall.
Update: Well, that point in the future has come! The NEST has turned out to be one of my better purchases. It's performance has been flawless and being able to set up a custom schedule has saved me money - a lot of it! I also like the ability to access it via my smart cell phone.
