We've had a nest thermostat for five years.

For the past four and a half years it's been on a shelf in the basement, in its box. Gonna throw it out someday.

What crappy tech. Its problem: its backing plate heats up. Causing the house to be perpetually cold.

Three Nest backing-plate replacements later, we gave up.

We presently have a much dumber thermostat that can be remotely controlled. We're happy now, but we'll never purchase another Nest product again.

The one my girlfriend has was bundled with a remote temperature sensor. I guess yours didn’t come with one?

Either way - she hasn’t installed it and it’s worked fine. It’s possible you had a dud unit?

Do they not have remote temperature sensors as an option?

They do now. The original Nest did not have remote sensors.
