My questions....

Does anyone here have a Nest who can reassure me that this sensitivity is changeable? My furnace guy recommends the Honeywell units. I’m interested in personal experiences with Honeywell or if people have other recommendations?
You can turn off the "learning" from the Nest and basically make it a programmable thermostat w/ home/away which seems to do the trick for me.

Most of the recommendations for smart thermostats that I've seen are for the EcoBee.
