Does anyone use "Nest" to control heat?

on a side note, you need a 3 wire for the thermostat, and if only a two wire coming out of the wall will need to replace with a 3 wire set up. I went to replace in my full time house but when I took the old thermo off the wall it was only a two wire. Due to the route the wire takes I would have had to poke a couple of holes to install the wire so I could thread it the same way.

I ended up just going back to the programmable thermostat for the house.

Up in NH I have the mini splits from Mitsubishi, they can be installed with Wifi thermo's so I got those, can't wait to use them

My Nests run fine on only 2 wires. Look at the Nest site and compatibility tool. I had a white and red wire coming out of the wall. The compatibility tool shows you where to connect them. It will work with only 2 wires unless you are also controlling central air conditioning from the same Nest.

Honeywell makes a wifi T-stat that works well, sends power and low temp alarms, and can be manually adjusted when you are on your way to your place.

I have the Honeywell. It works great, easy to use and at the time I got it was less expensive than Nest.
