Top Features of the Nest Learning Thermostat
When you opt for the Nest Learning Thermostat, you entrust your home's temperature to the first ENERGY STAR-certified thermostat. This thermostat takes the guesswork out of your home's comfort by learning what temperatures you prefer and programming itself.
How do you install the Nest thermostat? It's simple. Follow the instructions in the Nest Learning Thermostat manual. The job takes about 30 minutes, or trust the pros to handle it for you.
The Nest thermostat also tracks your phone's location to determine whether you're home or away. When you're away, it changes its setting to an “Eco Temperature,” helping save you money on energy. Plus, it reports how much energy you use daily, allowing you to track what you're using and see where you can save.
Integrating this thermostat into your home has been shown to produce savings averaging 10-12% on heating and 15% on cooling bills. This means it could pay for itself within just two years!
For a more streamlined approach, it even offers alerts to help with Nest thermostat troubleshooting, such as when a filter needs to be replaced.
How to Use Your Nest Thermostat Device
The Nest app makes it easy to use your Nest thermostat device. You'll have full control over your system, whether home or away, as long as it remains hooked up to Wi-Fi and you have an internet connection.
The screen on your Nest thermostat isn't touch-enabled. Instead, you can adjust the temperature by using the touch bar on the right side. Simply swipe up to raise it or swipe down to lower it.
Tapping the touch bar will open up a menu, and again, you swipe up or down to choose the option you wish to use. However, some settings, such as a temperature schedule, must be adjusted in the Google Home app.
A Breakdown of the Nest Thermostat App
You can control your Nest thermostat with the Google Home app. The Nest Learning Thermostat can be controlled by both the Home app and the Nest app.
Before using either app, you must connect your thermostat to your home's Wi-Fi. To do this, download the Google Home app from Google Play or the Apple App Store. After you create your account, it will give you instructions on how to connect your thermostat.
From the app's home screen, you can change the temperature by tapping on the thermostat to see the current and target temperatures. Use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the temperature.
To set a schedule, open the Google Home app and tap on "Devices." Once you select your thermostat, it will present an option for "Schedules." Set the schedule based on your preferences.
Benefits of Bundling Other Nest Products
Why stop at a smart thermostat? Other Nest products can seamlessly integrate with your home, giving you control from the palm of your hand.
For example, indoor and outdoor Nest Cam cameras can boost your sense of security. The indoor cameras are perfect if you have pets or children you need to watch, even if you're not in the room. The outdoor cameras offer weatherproof outdoor monitoring day or night.
The Nest Protect adds intelligence to your smoke alarm. Rather than blaring an alarm at you, it provides actionable information to keep you safe. Likewise, it can provide alerts, such as if CO levels are rising or smoke is detected.
