I have three Nests in my home (one on each floor) to manage about 5,000 square feet. As others have said, packaging was nice and install was simple. I used the wall plates because we have satin paint, and I was not in the mood to paint the entire wall. I have electric heat and forced air AC on the first and second floors with the first floor being gas heat and forced air.Love the iPhone and iPad apps! Get too cold or hot at night while in bed? No problem -- just reach over and set it with your iPhone without rolling out of bed. The self-learning feature has been great as well -- all three of my Nests seem to be coordinating and even accounts for minimal 3rd floor usage in our home.It is pricey, but it looks good and "just works". I'm curious to see the long-term energy improvements, but even without that knowledge presentation, ease of use, and coordination of three devices make it worth it to me.

This thermostat takes a boring device up to the next level and makes you love it. It's no surprise there is an iPod designer involved in its creation. It does everything promised - hooks up to your wireless for remote control from anywhere, by a beautiful little app; modulates your usage, including calculating the time it takes to heat or cool your house, so it can do smarter setback operations. In other words, you tell it what temperature you want and it will figure out when to turn on and off and pace your equipment to get there with a minimum of energy use. A couple of personal experiences- Very easy to install with good instructions for matching up your existing wires and an optional, white plastic back plate to cover larger holes in your wall if necessary. I have Nests installed in two separate houses and I control both from the app. Actually, my wife does it, and technology has to be rewarding and fun for her to use it. We did not like the 'learn' feature where the Nest monitors your patterns and preferences to establish a series of target temperatures throughout the day and night. My schedule is too erratic. So If I stayed up late all week, it thought I always wanted those temperatures at 2:00am. Once I turned off that feature and cleared out the settings, it was a better fit for me. I can see where people with a regular schedule might like it though.
