7.9 Nest Learning Thermostat 4th Gen comes with a room sensor included, smart schedule adjustments, and an excellent display. No C-wire required.
Initially skeptical of its aesthetic value, I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the 4th Gen Nest Learning Thermostat looks on my wall. However, its $280 price tag is steep compared to thrift store art that serves a similar purpose. Despite its appearance, the true test of a thermostat lies in its functionality, and this latest model keeps me comfortable.
The inclusion of a room sensor in the latest version turns the thermostat into a whole-home climate control system. Other changes include a dynamic display that shows more information as you approach the thermostat, making it more useful.
Compared to the 3rd Gen model, the 4th Gen Nest Learning Thermostat offers a different app experience using the Google Home app. The dynamic home screen allows for customization of displayed information and utilizes Dynamic Farsight technology to adjust display based on proximity.
Smart scheduling capabilities allow the thermostat to adjust temperatures automatically based on learned behavior. The inclusion of an external sensor in the box helps create a more comfortable environment throughout the entire house.
While the 4th Gen Nest Learning Thermostat is the most expensive model on the market at $280, it offers a range of features and functionalities that make it a top choice for those seeking a feature-rich gadget for climate control. If cost savings are a priority, there are more affordable options available.
