As a Nest thermostat owner, I am underwhelmed. If I could find a way to leave feedback in a way that I thought it might be incorporated, it would be something like this:
* If your thermostat was really "smart" it wouldn't turn the compressor on 1 minute before the temp was scheduled to change (and turn it back off).
* Your "smart" scheduling does more harm than good. And changing the schedule manually is a pain.
There are some good things:
* Retention of usage data is good.
* Ability to change the thermostat from office/vacation/bed - pretty great I must say.
But I agree that the IoT thing is way out of control.
