I've always heard this, and so when I went for my first smart thermometer I went straight to Ecobee (which I'm very happy with btw). So I gotta ask HN...what the heck was so popular about Nests?! It's one thing to be go after shiny lures like new iPhone apps or luxury items...but a Thermostat?! Mind boggling...

It looks good on the wall, has a bright large display that lights up when you approach and intuitive enough for non-techies to operate. Also it can be installed without a common wire.

  And you can control it from your phone, or with your voice by talking to Google assistant.

The industrial design of the thing is really nice. I wish someone could/would copy them. I don't use any of the smart features nor do I connect it to the app, but it's still the nicest looking thermostat out there.
