It seems like the majority of people who had problems with the Nest Thermostat in these comments had it hooked up to a heat pump system.

Mine is a first-gen, bought the instant they were available to the public, and it's been rock-solid for the past 3+ years. However, I only have a standard central air and central heat (gas furnace) setup here in Texas. Nothing complicated.

I've been debating the Protects myself, the battery operated ones.

I've had a couple of battery-operated Nest Protects in the house for the past year or so - no problems or false alarms so far (thankfully no accidental fires either).
