Anyone have a Nest thermostat?

Is it worth the cost? Our power company is offering a $100 rebate on it now. Did it help save money? If so, how much? We're not ones to adjust the thermostat during different times of the day, but on weekends if we are not going to be home we will turn it up some or down, depending on the weather. We have two dogs that stay at home so the temp stays the same for them as it does when we are home. 

Anything else I need to know about it?

We love our nest. My H has it preset to adjust during the day when we aren't home. In the summer, he will turn the AC on from the app about 30 minutes before we will be home so that its nice and cool. I think the app is the best feature because if I'm in bed and need to adjust I can be lazy and do it from my phone.

I don't know exactly how much we are saving because we installed it as soon as we moved into our house but it definitely keeps our bill low (it's often the same if not less than what we paid for heating/cooling in our much smaller apartment).

We LOVE our nest. I'm not sure how much it's saved, but the convenience factor is awesome. Headed home from work early? Turn on the heat before you leave work. Headed to happy hour after work? Turn the heat off and save yourself the money.

I would totally get it.

Thanks for the feedback, ladies!

We were looking into it for the rebate, but I think we may get an Ecobee instead. I like that it has sensors for rooms that might run hotter or colder than the location of the thermostat.

I love ours, but mostly because I can change the temperature from the couch or bed. We keep the temp in our house pretty much the same all the time since we have dogs, so we probably haven't seen any real savings from it.

I can't bring myself to buy one because I don't want Google to know when I'm home and what I'm doing. Lol

But we have a Honeywell without the sensors (but wifi connected) and we love it.

I have had one for about 3 weeks. I am loving being able to adjust it from my phone and the auto-away function. I feel more in control of how much energy we are actually using.

I love that I can control it from my phone app. Brilliant.

I plan on getting the ecobee3 instead of the nest when our house is built. I've heard the nest is not an Apple-friendly product and we use mainly Apple phones and computers

We're going to be getting a UK product that controls the underfloor heating and individual radiators. I got my H on board with it yesterday.
