As a counter-anecdote, I have been very grateful for my Nest during these especially cold days. It takes the weather outside into account, and does a much better job keeping my house in a comfortable temperature range.
- maxerickson 12y agoOutdoor temperature reset has been a feature on furnace controllers for a long time (also called modulating aquastat). (so there is a sense in which it isn't necessarily a smart home type of feature, it doesn't need a great deal of integration or whatever, and will work with any dumb thermostat)
- JshWright 12y agoYeah, to be fair, my Nest replaced a dial thermostat with a mercury switch on a bimetal coil...
