Take your thermostat for granted? Most people have until it became known that the thermostat controls about 50 percent of the electricity bill. It sounds almost unbelievable, is not it? How could this little tan box play such a significant role in how much we pay the utility each month? A traditional thermostat wasting a lot of energy heating and cooling your home when no one is there. The
Nest Learning Thermostat was introduced in late 2011, and it was and is
still very popular because of its easy installation and modern design. One of the designers of the highly successful iPod and iPhone decided to work on a thermostat, nest thermostat as was known.
The Nest Learning Thermostat is designed to learn. Once installed and running, you can use it when you are at home and turn it down when you leave. In a few days the nest will have learned your schedule. If you need to leave the house unexpectedly, the car-Away feature turns the thermostat for you. A nest leaf icon appears on the display when you save energy.
Change the temperature by just one degree can save up to five percent on your energy costs. The leaf display can point you in the right direction. Once the nest has learned your schedule, you will not harm temperature change. However, if you change the temperature for several days in a row, the thermostat will learn a new schedule.
The Nest thermostat can be controlled from a smartphone, tablet or laptop. First, you need the nest home Wi-Fi network to connect to you then download the free app from the Android Market or Apple's App Store. After you start the application, you can nest with your account. After you have successfully paired with your thermostat Nest account, you will see icons of a house and a thermostat. Now you have full remote control of your cooling and heating systems. If you have in your account two or more houses with two or more thermostats, you will see icons for all of them. Now, in winter you can wake up to a warm house, because the nest took care of the heat, while you were sleeping. There are also other environmental adaptations to make the nest you can comfortably 24/7 while saving money on utilities.
