In the short explanation, it's $250 thermostat. Why on earth would you spend $250 on a thermostat that you can easily get at your local hardware store for $20? Simple, it's not that.
The Nest Thermostat learns what temperatures you like, and adjusts accordingly depending what time of day, if you're home or away, and can even be connected to WiFi to be controlled by your cell phone. Your thermostat uses about 50% of the energy in your house, and can control exactly that. Most thermostats can be programmed to do most of the basics the Nest does, but does anyone really know how? The typical thermostat is just like trying to set the time on your VCR...no one ever knew, and then they were obsolete.
When you're connected to WiFi, you can control everything about the thermostat. Schedules, temperatures, and even view how much energy you are(or aren't, hopefully) using. With the newest version of the Nest it also has different programming based on the type of heating system your home uses. The Nest even uses it's Auto-Away feature, working in 90% of homes it will turn the temperature down(or up, if we're talking A/C) when it notices nobody is home to help you save energy even when you forget.
The best part, it's easy to install just like any other thermostat and is compatible with most systems. Oh, and did I mention it looks much better too?
