Nest started out great for me as an early adopter.

The recent iterations are just frustrating. The apps are laggy. It’s always prompting me to join an energy savings program no matter how many times I say no. We had to disable the home/away detection because it went from working well to thinking we were away 5 times per day.

Nest stands as my example of a product that went from great to terrible through complete mismanagement and customer neglect.

I added energy savings to my thermostat but later added Solar panels

It will still go energy saving but now I don’t care

Although it makes sense not to pull more from the grid during high usage times
