Lashing thermostat: It is ridiculous not to buy one

Before Nest made cameras, home security systems, or smoke detectors, there was a nesting thermostat. There was nothing like Nest OG when it was launched again in 2011, but the SMART Smart Markets has risen since then. NST (now an alphabet along with Google) continued to repeat the thermostat, whose products are still the most famous. All the three generations of nesting thermostat have a similar atmosphere – they look like pieces of technology connected to your body. Not everyone wants it, but Nest Nest Thermostat E provides a lower appearance and a lower price.

This device can be for you for $ 169, which is less than $ 80 of the third generation nest. He packs all the most expensive features of his brother, but it will not work with many homes. However, it uses the same Nest Great app, and the company has listened to the integration of smart homes with an assistant. If you need to replace your thermostat, it looks a kind of absurdity to not get the thermostat E.

Goodness

Not very good

Proven

I will not consider myself especially useful at home, but I wanted to see how easy heat stabilization. After all, Nest includes instructions, plans and some small wire stickers to help you do so. Therefore, I pulled the old thermostat from the wall (after turning off the system) and began to tend with the wires to see if I could get the nesting thermostat.

The third -generation nest contains ten wire inputs to calculate both heating and cooling mainly. The Esob E contains only six, which must be sufficient to connect more than four in five houses. It is mostly older compositions that will not work with E. In my case, I had a standard yellow wire (AC), green (fan), white (heat), and red (energy). The Esmerts E uses an essential plate with wired connections that you install on the wall alone. There is a built -in bubble level in the base, just like the most expensive nest – a deliberate feature.

It took just a few minutes to dig holes, install the base, and connect the wires. I had nothing to be known as a common wire (usually blue). Those provides 24 volts fixed for more greed heat. Nest says that you do not need a common wire most of the time, but a third -generation nest has a good reputation because it is difficult with the red wires that work to run. The Esob E is running well without a common wire, as it maintains a battery charge of about 3.9 volts (you need at least 3.7 volts for full functions).

The Esmetate E themselves falls only in the base after connecting all wires. When you connect the mine, the system was operated immediately and some questions were asked about the heating and cooling system. After that was the formation of the application and the WiFi network. Finally, the thermostat has gone through a complete test of the system, turning on heat, cooling and fan. In my case, everything is completely gone. Yes, I was also surprised.

design

Esmetat E contains white plastic housing, while the third nest is the metal. “Premium” does not look like the most expensive version, but it does not look cheap either. The front part of the Esmetate E lacks a full LCD screen for the full colors of the normal nest-it is a burdened plastic panel with user interface elements from the back. This is the most important design change, but I can see some people really prefer it. The normal nest lights up and appears to be part of the strange technology on your home. A warm plastic -authors E, the lowest and the lowest explicit tools.

There is a LCD panel behind the Frosted panel, but the nest returns the interface that it displays to provide a minimal appearance. There is no set of tick signs on temperature readings, and the device does not display the most data when it wakes up. The loss of “Farsight” is the main result of the simpler user interface. The ancestor of the normal nest can display an hour, weather or other content when it sees that you are approaching. None of this works on E. It is not a fracture of the deal, but anyone is used to see Farsight probably E as a reduction.

^{This is as much as you will see on the screen.}

The Esmert E remains sleeping most of the time, and it appears to be a white dome less than its value on your wall. The screen wakes up when you discover the movement, though. All it shows is the current temperature, the specified temperature, and some basic information such as the period until the scheduled temperature changes. I have grown very fond of the meaningful, meaningless appearance of this offer.

You can control the nest via the app or from Google Assistant (more about it later), but the nest is still working on its own as well. The entire body rotates, allowing you to control the temperature. Depression can also be like a button to open settings and identify the elements in the list. It works, but it is the mind to do anything other than changing the temperature on the thermostat itself. Using the app is much easier.

Features

The nest is not just the thermostat – it is a to learn thermostat. At least, this is what the company calls these things. After setting up the Smers E, you have the option to create a manual temperature routine or let the nest do so smart. It is clear that this works better with the installed app on your phone, which allows the system to know when to be at home and when you leave for today.

My position is somewhat unusual because I work from home. Virtual when Nest begins to work is for the decrease in energy use during the day when most people are not at home. At this time of the year, this means that the thermostat places itself on the low -six years so that the oven does not run much. Of course, I had to manually change this in the first few days. After that, the nest discovered that I was at home all day and stopped dropping the temperature at 9 am.

In the NST app, you can control your thermostat in only a few taps. The thermostat is different from E from the normal nest – it corresponds to the aesthetic of the device itself with the interface of the light user and a large large temperature screen. You can adjust the system on heating, cold, heat/cold, ECO, and stop the application. For most people in most places, it will be either the heat or great position, but the editing mode and narration are useful if you are in an area where there are fluctuations in the wild temperature.

Help in the Nest/Away house can convert the ECO thermos when it is abroad. I faced some problems with this feature at first, but I think this is mostly due to my circumstances. You can just enable the site feature on one phone for each user, and I switch phones a lot. If you forget to enable the feature on the phone that I actually hold, help at home/away does not work. When I am Do Remember that he works without a defect.

NST is connected to Google Assistant, and there are very little sets of settings to start controlling ETICE. Simply log in to the nest via assistant settings and set the E to -room themes. However, I managed to ask Google about the temperature setting, changing temperature, and switching modes. Nest also understands more informal phrases such as “Make it warmer”. The changes made by the assistant are transferred to the nest almost immediately. The only Qualm is that I cannot know how to adjust the temperature settings via the assistant when the system is in the editing and narration temperature.

conclusion

I was very happy with Nest Thermostat E, and a big part is that I am not constantly familiar with it. The thermostat is something that only needs to work, and the introduction of “smart” features in the previous stupid devices can make them less reliable. This is not the case here. The Esmert E does its work, and I should not think about it unless you want to change something. When I do that, it makes the app and assistant application easy.

Nest loves to talk about the amount you will provide with smart thermostat. I was using E for a full month to see the type of savings I get. Based on my rough estimation, my power bill is about $ 10 less than I expected. We are not in the winter yet, so I will not be surprised to see the monthly savings slightly with the use of the oven.

It is easy to install Nest Thermostat E, rich in features, reliable and very expensive. I will not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for new thermostat.
