When I needed a current thermostat, I went to the apartment center to choose a single.
The client repair person I talked to, tried to talk myself and others into purchasing a Nest Thermostat.
I had never heard of a Nest Thermostat and I tried to get him to tell myself and others the difference between it and a Smart Thermostat. He explained that the Nest Thermostat is a smart thermostat that was developed by Nest Labs. He told myself and others who the designers were, however he didn’t tell myself and others what was weird between the Nest and the Smart thermostats. The client repair person then told myself and others that it is an electronic, programmable and self-studying Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat that optimizes heating and cooling of homes and businesses, to conserve energy. Wait a minute. Isn’t that the same thing as the smart thermostat. It is also an electronic, programmable and self-studying Wi-Fi-enabled thermostat. The smart thermostat also optimizes heating and cooling of apartment to conserve energy. I could not figure out why I would spend so much more money for a Nest Thermostat than a Smart thermostat, when they were the same thing. He told myself and others the Nest thermostat could be used with google tools, but I already knew the Smart Thermostat could also be used with any computer, PC, tablet, or PC that has Wi-Fi and smart capabilities. He then tried to sell myself and others an Alexa system so I could save time programming the Nest. I laughed and told him I had a PC and I could program our Smart Thermostat from anywhere, even in the house. He sold myself and others a absolutely nice Smart Thermostat that was much cheaper than the Nest he was pushing.
