Google Nest Learning Thermostat E + Nest Mini (Gen 2)+ 2-Pk Deco Smart Plug EXPIRED

Thanks OP, was planning on picking this up to rig the thermostat with a raspberry pi to work with HomeKit, this is going to be a fun project.

I wish google store match the deal

I will give the thumbs up on this based on regular retail price but as a note of something to be cognizant of, after having the Nest Thermostat E for about 8 months now, I have seen an increase in energy bills every single month compared to the previous year. This has occurred despite keeping the thermostat at more conservative temperatures than with my previous, basic programmable thermostat. I have tried changing schedules, using the Eco Mode, and any other tricks I could think of. Energy bills were still consistently higher and it only started the month that I installed this thermostat. Now, I am NOT claiming that this thermostat is definitely to blame. What I am saying is that it seems to be the only factor that has changed in our everyday lives so it stands to reason that it is probably having something to do with our higher energy bills. I do enjoy the ability to change settings remotely or with my voice via Google Assistant. The settings are fairly straight forward and easy to manage.
I purchased mine directly from Georgia Power Company for $100. They offer smart thermostats for discounted prices. Many states also offer this incentive to buy energy saving products so it is always worth it to check that out as an option as well. For Georgia Power, the only catch was that my residence had to qualify and the reduced price can only be redeemed once per residence.

So I have a 2nd gen regular nest, and of course it doesn't work with the temperature sensor, which id like to put in our nursery. Is the E a sidegrade or downgrade?

Could lump Dell credit in too honestly. Just gotta buy things with credit when there's other stuff you know you can use it on.

Dell credit is not bad as Dell always has Door Buster or TV deal. I bought these deal and resell to to get my GC value back in cash.

Yeah. But the best deals are usually the ones going on while they offer credits, meaning your credits show up a week later when the doorbusters aren't as good. I mean don't get me wrong. Dell is better, but the only credit which is really as good as cash these days is for Amazon.

another option is to use credit to buy something you can return to Target without receipt for store credit.

One thing about the nest is it preheats. So if you set it to be at 75 at 7, it may start preheating at 6 to reach that temp. Other thermostats would switch to 75 at 7, and then there would be a delay in actually reaching that temp. Perhaps this is part of it!

I have my settings set to accommodate for this. I've thought the same thing and tried to play with different schedules and timelines. The way I had it set was really the same thing I would do to have my old thermostat scheduled to begin cooling a while before we would get home in the afternoon. I'm just baffled as to what has caused such a high increase in our bills

Make sure you check with your local power company first. Mine is currently offering a Nest E with a free Nest Mini for $9. Yes, nine dollars. So unless that smart plug is worth $120...

Sorry if this is obvious but have fuel rates remained the same YoY?
