Amazon currently has the Nest Learning Thermostat (2nd Generation T200577) [1] for $249 + FREE Shipping. Also, they are currently giving away $40 Amazon Gift Credits with the purchase of this Nest Thermostat.
Now I know that $249 sounds like a lot for a thermostat, but these things are AMAZING and these very rarely go on sale! Here are just a few of the incredible features that it has:
Programs Itself, Saves Energy
The Nest thermostat learns from you – your temperature adjustments, your house, your patterns. Teach it well to stay comfortable at home and save
energy when you’re away.
Auto Schedule
Turn it up, turn it down. The Nest thermostat remembers what temperatures keep you comfortable and creates a custom schedule for your home. As your life and the seasons change, Nest automatically adapts.
Auto-Away
The Nest thermostat uses its activity sensors to sense when nobody’s home and turn itself to an energy-saving temperature. Auto-Away works in 90% of homes, even if Nest is in a room you don’t use much.
Airwave
Airwave cuts your AC costs while keeping you cool. It turns on automatically when your home’s humidity allows.
System Match
System Match automatically turns on specific energy-saving or comfort features for you, depending on what heating or cooling system you have.
Personalized for Any System.
Nest knows one size doesn’t fit all. So you tell the Nest thermostat what system you have and System Match will turn on specific features to automatically help you save.
