    I bought a house last year and updated all the thermostats (four total) with Google Nest learning thermostats. I did this so that I could control things without having to be near the box, nor home at all. It's icing on the cake that it does seem to save some money and that the learning part works mostly. I really enjoy that I can adjust the temps when I'm away when I inevitably forget.

    But fuck if Google won't play nice with Apple. I can't use Siri to control my Nest thermostats without using yet another 3rd party setup, which I'm not willing to do.

    • Four thermostats? That's temp control baby!stoplying

    • Our energy company sent us a nest thermostat for free, comped our next month's bill since I installed it myself, and has worked great.bulletfactory
    • Yeah I basically got mine for 90% off with promos and rebates. And they send me $250 a year for having them and using peak savers.monospaced
