Turn off the auto-schedule/ECO mode. Problem solved.

Is this the Nest thermostat that is Matter-compatible?

I can't speak to the Nest thermostat, but I recently installed the Amazon thermostat. It's very simple. There are only 3 physical buttons on the front (that you can't see) but setup is very simple. Like most Amazon products now, you scan the QR code and then the videos walk you through it, so set up is a breeze. Also easy to control the temp through the app, and it's very responsive.

I also bought a new HVAC unit, and it turned out the Amazon t-stat I bought didn't work with my 2 heat/2 cool unit. (unit was too advanced for the t-stat) But before we got to that point, I spoke with the Amazon support (which was actually really helpful), but when it went beyond them they transferred me to Honeywell. Honeywell actually makes and supports the Amazon t-stat. And they were great.

The Amazon t-stat I picked up was a reconditioned one from Woot for I think $30. Check Woot or Amazon's warehouse if you're going that direction. The 2 stage t-stat that I ended up getting was from Honeywell, (they suggested 4 options) and it usually is $180 and I found it on Amazon Warehouse for $65 in "Like New" condition. I haven't installed it yet, so fingers crossed!

I have asked opinions from 3 different HVAC companies, and each one has said that Nest are a huge pain to work on. Not a single one has recommended them. They're great when they work...but if they need servicing they are awful.

That's just my experience, and hopefully you will get some first hand info on the Nest from other owners.

I have one of these and really don't like it. The display is ok but lack of turning dial makes the interface clunky. App works fine but this is nothing like the older Nest thermostats.

I have the more expensive one. I HATE it. Have since replaced it. Big waste of money.

They claimed it would work without the C wire. It did not. Then need to jump through hoops for them to send you device to allow it to work.

BUT what really is horrible is it wants to save you money, regardless of what you want. After multiple phone calls, they admitted it has a 3 degree temp swing before it turns on. Saving money is a PRIORETY over comfort. Put on more clothes. Take them off. Repeat. Nothing like having a party when everyone is uncomfortable!

I haven't seen them advertise the shenanigans it does. Probably wouldn't sell and they know it.

Now if you are gone all day, you may love this. Only a pain for a few hours before bed. We are retired and are home most of the day.
Sounds awful… is this legit about the 3° temp swing? My house would be awful if that was the case.
73° vs 76° in house would be unbearable.

Problem with Nest thermostat is the temperature measures are not accurate. Often reported 2-4 F higher than actual, likely due to wifi chip overheating. This is a widely reported issue, and is never resolved in several generations.

Already have the more expensive nest learning thermostat. My question is that there are two AC running the house, will the two nest thermostat behave with each other if they're different models?

They wouldn't affect each other, I have 3 NL thermostats in my place. I do use extra Neat sensors for each zone depending on where I want it to condition the air.

Interesting. I haven't been able to notice this, but I never measured the temperature using another device. Looks like this is a common complaint. Who knows maybe people like me got used to the cooler temperature because of the inaccurate readings?

Thanks for the tip. I ordered one before these comments so the 3 degree non-adjustable dead zone / maintenance band mentioned earlier gave me pause. I dug a bit and found the following from the Google Nest help:

The Nest thermostat maintenance band is not adjustable.

The heating maintenance band is 0.7°F (0.4°C) above and below the target temperature.

The cooling maintenance band is 1°F (0.6°C) above and below the target temperature.

So, unless the unit is defective I would think it should be fine. Actually, a 3 degree swing would seem beneficial when cooling in order to effectively remove the moisture from the air.

With rebate(s) from both my gas provider ($50) and power company ($75), it's a money maker for me providing they don't communicate with each other - fingers crossed.
