The Nest T3017US learning thermostat provides the consumer with several unique features. In this review, I will describe each feature in detail. Additionally, I will indicate the benefit of each feature.
1. Remote Control
This feature allows you to control the thermostat from your phone, computer, etc. via the Nest app utilizing Wi-Fi. The clear benefit of this feature is it allows the consumer to change the temperature of one’s residence when they are not at home. This feature would benefit someone that just prefers to have a hands on approach to the temperature of the thermostat regardless of where they are at a given time.
2. Auto Schedule
The Nest T3017US learning thermostat also does just what is describes in it’s description. This items learns. The Nest T3017US learning thermostat learns the tendencies of how the consumer utilizes specific temperatures over a given period of time. For example, if a consumer of this product regularly sets the temperature to 74 degrees in the evening this product will “learn” this pattern. This feature is a benefit for those potential consumers that may have a tendency to forget to change the thermostat at certain times. The “learn” feature will assist the consumer in that regard.
3. Energy History
This product also provides a detailed history regarding how the heating and cooling of the thermostat over a given time period affected the energy use. The benefit of this feature is it allows the consumer of this product to better understand how utilizing this thermostat in a specific way can save energy based on reviewing the history provided by the Nest T3017US learning thermostat.
4. Nest Leaf
This feature illustrates a leaf on the thermostat when one is saving energy. The benefit is it allows the consumer to have a visual aid to identify when they are saving energy.
5. Early-On
The Nest T3017US learning thermostat monitors the weather in an effort to assist the consumer of this product with maintaining appropriate temperature. The benefit of this feature is it allows the consumer to not have to be burdened with constantly remembering to pay attention to weather.
This product has a number of positives. The “learn” feature of this product shows us that the device can assist the consumer with saving energy and as a result save money on the electric bill. Additionally, the feature allowing the consumer to adjust the temperature of the Nest T3017US learning thermostat utilizing one’s phone, tablet, etc. really place the control in the consumer’s hands at all times. The only negative I could determine would be for the person that is more old fashioned and would rather not utilize technology.
In conclusion, this product will be a great purchase for the vast majority of consumers.
