I installed a nest a little over a year ago, and I'm kind of "meh" with it. I think the only thing about a wi-fi thermostat that I like is that you can change the temperature if you are not home, and it's programmable (but that isn't a premium price feature).
The "learning" is kind of a pain in the @$$ because if you are the primary person who controls the thermostat, it senses if you are away (through your phone), and puts the thermostat in away mode. I have woken up to multiple messages from my partner when I am out of town to some not so nice comments. I essentially disabled learning because it was more of a headache than a benefit.
Looking back, I probably would have just purchased a programmable thermostat over a Nest and that would have been fine for my needs. It's my own fault that I was hoping to do more...
Not a fan that it is linked to your google account also. So if I sell my house, I have to re-install the POS thermostat that was there before and uninstall the nest to take it to a new place...
