Yeah but does it really help the average home? If you have one thermostat in your house more temperature data doesn't really help, it can only set one temperature for the whole house.
If you have a multi-zone house then yeah, your bottom floor and top floor could be set to multiple temperatures, but those houses typically have 2 thermostats already and if you're using 2 Nests for that they already talk to each other to make that efficient.
It would be cool to be able to wire up individual ceiling fans or something to the Nest and then use the fire detectors to figure out which rooms are running too hot/cold and fire off fans individually to normalize the temperature.
- cstejerean 13y agoThere's one example where I think targeting a specific room would help even without multi-zone. At night I only really care about the temperature in the bedroom, which is a lot smaller and in my experience cools faster than the living room (which is where my Nest is currently). If it could figure out that my bedroom is already at a comfortable temperature at night and not bother with the temperature in the living room, that might be interesting.
