Do better

Intermittent response to the app. Super frustrating.

awesome ac app

this app is perfect for our house. it’s got everything you can think of to have your temperature the way you want to

Does not work.

Horrible camera. Horrible service. Camera works when it wants to. I would save your money and buy a different brand.

very slow app

app opening time is lagging

Wtf google

Google glitched this app on purpose to force clients to switch to Google Home. wtf

Not bad but not good.

Honestly I like the nest cause it’s cool and all but I have had it for a few years but this thing will not stay at the temperature we set it too.
I have turned off all the auto settings and auto learning. I’ll set my thermostat to 70 at night in the winter and it will jump up to 76 as I’m sleeping. Or in the summer when it’s 100 degrees outside I’ll set it to 68 and it will jump back to 75 during the day. 😞 other than having a mind of its own it’s a cool thermostat. Probably won’t buy another one after this one goes out.

Who controls this thing?

Way too many suggestions and weird things happening with this thermostat. Just get an old school one and live life.

Nest for cameras is so much better than Google Home

This app for Nest Cameras is quick and easy to use. So much better than Google Home for the same cameras. Google Please do not end this app..

Still learning

It seems like it should be obvious but I guess I need to to do more research on how to use settings.

7 days and can’t get it to connect

I bought the nest smart lock and the app just keeps saying “failed to connect, try again”. It’s been 7 days. No other suggestions. No other steps. No reason it could be doing it. Just “failed to connect, try again.

Too clever by half

It’s a pain in the arse

God awful

The idea behind Nest is good, but the app is so frustratingly terrible that it often takes me 5-10minutes just to make a simple change, because it keeps coming up with error messages and saying it’s lost connection and I need to retry / reconnect. You then make changes which it sometimes does or sometimes doesn’t register. Moved into a house with Nest but sure won’t be keeping it for long.

Overly complex programming

We moved into a house with a nest system fitting, the scheduling seems overly complex to be honest and it would not have been the system I would have chosen.

Horrible

Awful

Limited functionality

There is lack of functionality remotely. Also the nest and the google home options are confusing. Are you Nest or Google? Does not seem clear by offering Google Home to set up the thermostats

Would not buy

Always disconnects , never links to remote sensors or internet.

I see you

Works great,

Terrible technology

Connecting to a new WiFi network, a trivial task, takes hours of troubleshooting and investigating. Really regretting getting these instead of First Alert (i.e. Resideo)

Stop asking about turning over control to my energy provider.

Cameras no longer worth owning

Sad not good anymore. Better cameras available. Threw my 5 away today.
