Slowly, but surely we are creating a smart home. Last year we added a few indoor and outdoor cameras and this week we added a Nest Learning Thermostat. I’m still loving my cameras and being able to check on the house while I’m away. My goal is to be able to take care of the house, as much as possible, when I’m traveling.

Alan installed the new Nest Learning Thermostat in about 30 minutes. He used the included installation video and told me it was simply a matter of matching the colored wires with the color codes on the thermostat. He said it was pretty easy and I’ll take his word on that. I’m sure I could have installed it, but grateful he took the initiative.

After Alan installed it I set it up. It is very user friendly and took 5 minutes to set up and connect to my internet and to my smart phone app. Yes, you’ll need to download the free app in order to control it while you are away.

WHY THE NEST LEARNING THERMOSTAT

 

  • Convenient customization: Within a week, Nest starts programming itself to the temperatures you like. Auto-away mode automatically switches to an energy-efficient temp when you’re not home. Dynamic sensors follow your activity, manage humidity, and keep an eye on the weather to best keep a comfortable climate. We only have a furnace, but if you have a combo furnace/air conditioning unit the thermostat will heat and/or cool your home depending on the weather.
  • Save Money on Energy Bills: This might be one of my favorite things because you know I love saving money. This little thermostat will track how much energy I’ve used and follow tips that will help you conserve. Make an energy-saving temperature adjustment and the Nest Leaf will notify you immediately.
  • Remote Access: I downloaded the app to my iPhone (also available on Android) and I can control my home’s temp from anywhere even if that somewhere is from my bed and I’m too tired to get up and turn the furnace down. Yes, I speak from experience 🙂 Plus, the app will notify me if something isn’t working or warm me that my house is too hot or too cold. The too cold is really important since we live in the north and a home that is too cold in the winter can lead to frozen and broken pipes.
