Introducing the Nest Learning Thermostat

[mgoho]

Good lord, do people really keep their houses between 76 and 80???

[phaantom100]

Both top comments are the same just different names.......

[monacojay]

Marketing should take the word "learning" out and just call it Nest.

[Harukoozt]

@Andersonairchris I don't know, the Nest has fairly good hardware in it.

[Andersonairchris]

Just so everyone knows also this is American designed but assembled in China.

[Harukoozt]

@Andersonairchris You mean like the computer you used to type this comment?

[Andersonairchris]

@Harukoozt Exactly like 80% of the electronics out there. Although my computer is Japanese, not american.

[Andersonairchris]

Can't wait till someone hacks the website and finds out exactly when no one is home at your house and empties the place while you are at work......Hope they take the thermostat too.

[Harukoozt]

@Andersonairchris Generally hackers aren't robbers, or smart enough to hack that kind of information. I don't even think you can know when the people are away from the website, only change the temperature.

[Andersonairchris]

@Harukoozt This thermostat uses data from your home...and sends it to nest servers via wifi. It knows when rooms are occupied and unoccupied via a motion sensor and changes you made or make, it knows what times of the day you are not home, it knows what days you are not at the home. How do you think it "learns". The thermostat itself doesn't have the capacity to create those algorithms and make the "learning" programs onsite, which is why it needs to be connected to the internet at all times.

[robere5]

Is there a certain range you can change it from? Say I was in another country, could I still use my phone to change it? And is this available in Canada, or at least in celcius?

[travisensenat]

@robere5 not available in Canada but yes you can set it to Celcius. You must order and have shipped within the US. I'm a canadian and have clarified this several times with Nest. Hopefully you have a US address you can have it shipped to. Also I do not believe there is a range that you can change the temp from. I am a snowbird and have clarified that yes I can change mine in Canada while in the USA and vice versa.

[Harukoozt]

@robere5 Celsius is available, yes. You can change the temperature from anywhere as long as both the thermostat and you are connected to a WiFi network.

[ZDeztroyerz]

Try to get the app and mess with my friends temperature, Genius It'll probably need a code for it....I'll get it...

[MrIgray]

How long will it take to learn how to feel?

[carbonunit]

it would never be able too learn my schizophrenic schedule

[cpucrash0]

nest should sell some on Amazon.com

[cpucrash0]

I wish they were in stock at Best Buy or at nest online store.

[Harukoozt]

@cpucrash0 You have to get on the waiting list.

[lamentconfig100]

i guess I don't get it. I just set my thermostat for 72 degrees and the house stays 72 degrees. That's the temperature I like at all times, day and night, summer and winter. What's to learn?

[sixxteenbits]

@lamentconfig100 The point is that you don't need to heat or cool your house when you're not home or under the covers. This learns your patterns so you don't have to worry about setting it. It will warm up the house right before you wake up, cool it right before you come home, etc. You save money because the units are not on 24/7.

[Googawho]

One important thing to note here is that this device does attempt to guide you toward saving energy. I replaced my old set and hold thermostat with nest and what positive difference! Used to use the app to turn it up before even getting out of bed... so nice on cold mornings. But now it just knows me, almost as well as my TiVo. Nest is obviously built, designed and marketed to those with means to afford it. Poor haters gonna hafta hate.

[xboxluva22]

if you could control it by siri then i would get 2

[EdwinBobo]

Skynet!

[soundmapper]

Especially the hater a couple posts down that hates so much he had to use two separate accounts to hate. In 2009, ALL programmable thermostats lost their energy star rating. Why is that? Because most people are not using the features correctly, or not at all. It's exactly like the smartphone age. With old flip phones, most people did not use the features due to clunky UI. Now smart phones have changed that, and this thermostat is going to do the same thing. It doesn't "learn" it just remembers

[soundmapper]

Lol at the haters. I doubt this can control the fire on your 55 gallon bum drum.

[rfsent5]

Say you wake up sick, with a chill, and you turn it up 4 degrees for an hour. Then you have to worry about it memorizing that or recording thousands of data points. A typical scheduler based on YOU programming it, based on what YOU know, makes more sense. I can almost foresee people asking how to erase everything, starting over, and having all sorts of complaints. Plus it's $250 at Best Buy. LOL. YEP, I can see through their entire scheme targeting the credulous apple crowd.

[AshtonPhoto]

@rfsent5

Yep, how dare they target people with taste who want something that just works.

The bastards.

[sixxteenbits]

@rfsent5 They address this type of situation on their website. Appears to be compensated for in the 8 day initial learning process.

[bergsteinlife]

big deal.. i bought a network and LEARNING thermostat in 1998 still works. its open souce too..

[IndefiniteImplosion]

"Be available in the UK, nest"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, not gonna happen"

:(

Please?

[Joshwwhite]

This is a great idea but it is really obtrusive looking- how do you fit this into the decor of a 150 year old house? Where I live- this would look stupid in MOST houses.

[Harukoozt]

@Joshwwhite Generally people that have the money to blow $250 on a thermostat either have a renovated house to up the resale value and ability, or a newer house.

[lol4dead]

"remembers when you wake up"

Mine will turn on at 3 P.M, these days, then.

[loftboy79]

less than $20 to get one you just program yourself, took me 2 minutes to program mine last week.. lol if you have kids or many people in your house or guests visit and any of them change it it's going to use that data to program.. dumb..

[Stevelord666]

Why did I just watch a video about a thermostat?

[codestud3]

wait a few months for the chinese to bring out their thirty dollar version.

[jep1029]

who keeps their house at 80?  man that seems toasty!

[mickeymouse12678]

I don't care how fancy this thing is. It's $249 for a FREAKING THERMOSTAT!

I'll stick with my old and ugly one, thanks.

[Saeon]

anyone know the song they use for this video? hopefully it's not specifically made for this video only and i cant find it :(

[aaron1646]

Can't wait! We live where it can be cold at night and warm during the day. It will be great to have a thermostat that can handle heating in air on the same day without having to adjust for a 10° discrepancy.

[jilby14]

this isnt even a new concept

[aaronwillisiphone]

Great idea

[Cloud797]

$250? Looks cool though.

[marcyincny]

Who the hell could possibly think of those temperatures as "energy saving"?

[hotandcold81]

WoW! A device that turns you heating and cooling system ON and OFF! Very impressive....

[RocketCatDK]

Me: *turn up heat*

Nest: "I Can't let you do that".

[mhurstjr]

@RocketCatDK lol my dad just got that thermostat and the first thing i said was "it looks like HAL"

[mtmattix]

I want mine!

[anotherhappyguy]

I want one!!

[HVACSmartSystems]

Me gusta. Gracias por subir este video

[natnetsam]

its retarded and lazy to turn the thermostat in ur phone

:P

[TheSittingArchitect]

"Turn down to 70 degrees"

"I don't think I can do that, Dave."

[Pen2penguin]

who else the clicked on this vid thinking it was HAL?

[muscles662988]

Sounds shady...

[MrExtradan]

nothing new.... JUST AWESOME DESIGN!

want!

[Stefandurrr]

"It never stops learning."

That might be the most terrifying slogan I've ever heard. HAL is coming.

[aminazam95]

Replace all doorknobs with Nest thermostat, problem?

[Faheemh87]

Where is the ringtone version of this video?

[jbdranger]

i turn mine up to 72 when i'm a bit chilly and that gets a bit toasty rather quickly, normal is about 70-71 for me...76 is a fucking hell hole, and in the most literal way.

[grettagrids]

@jbdranger 82 feels nice to me..

[texaspacm]

Love the product, but who created that video. Great job!!! I want to use them.

[RangerBandit77]

It pays itself off in...oooo 35 years...great gift for the next homeowner

[Harukoozt]

@RangerBandit77 I don't know about you but I'd take Nest with me to my new house and leave the new home owners with a cheap one.

[Transbibilfobil]

Introducing HAL 9000! The world's first Thermostat to gain self awareness.

WARNING: Do not insult HAL 9000 or let it believe that you are plotting against it. Side effects may include burning down your house, submerging your home into a seemingly nuclear winter, or ejecting you into space.

[sirdaniel421]

BIG BROTHER now exists .. OMFG

[theonetrueiota]

@sirdaniel421 This is more HAL 9000, not big brother, I think.

[sirdaniel421]

@theonetrueiota touche .. touche

[Harukoozt]

@sirdaniel421 Oh boy, the government can supposedly see you changing your temperature. Big deal.

[oakcliff621]

its always watching

[rasmusxp]

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

[skaterman934]

soon when you go to randomly turn the temp down it will of alredy of done (dramatic music plays)

[PyroGuideToHappiness]

@skaterman934 HAVE HAVE not alredy of done, it's alreAdy HAVE done (that)

[junerClarinetM]

ナニこれ格好いい！

Cool!

[GenerationDarkness]

@junerClarinetM

私は日本語の初心者だけど、これは習うことのサーモスタットです­。 ^-^

[JWuEntertainment]

I want to know how it learns

[TheGreyblood]

People actually use thermostats? Such pussies, we've become.

[Apockill]

@TheGreyblood eat a dick

[LoyalT100]

Soon it will consume you

[kickassmage]

we r so close to HAL

[Wassamattawityou]

Have we not learned anything from movies?! dont teach machines to learn! 8O

[fieryelf]

I use fire wood to heat my house, does nest help with that too??

[java575]

This thing looks sexy as hell I might buy one once I find a job.

[OhhTriqqyHD]

i dont know how i got from cod to here but... sick!

[vkarthik90]

what a nerd! keeps learning all day!

[Xenphenik]

If it costs half your energy bill then why the fuck are you using a thermostat?

Seriously, are you that much of a woman that you cant live with slightly uncomfortalbe temperatures to save half your energy bill?

[LOLDSFAN]

@Xenphenik And they say Americans are the arrogant ones...

[shall1028]

@Xenphenik if Fahrenheit is "stupid" because 76 degrees makes you think that they are "burning alive" then the Kelvin scale must be really stupid because at 297.6 K they must be really roasting well.

Fahrenheit is, of course, no more or less stupid than measuring temperature in Celsius, Kelvin, Rankine, Réaumur, Rømer, nor any other scale.

[theonetrueiota]

@shall1028 He probably thought it was stupid because his country uses Celsius, Like an ungodly amount of other countries.

[Stefandurrr]

@theonetrueiota @shall1028 Celsius is much more straight forward and well thought out. 0C or below = water freezes. Over 0C = not. 100C = water boils.

What temperature does water freeze in Fahrenheit? 32? Or was it 33? Even the name Fahrenheit is stupid. You guys make everything more complicated than it needs to be. It's inefficient.

[theonetrueiota]

@Stefandurrr I'm not disagreeing with you, If anything I'm disagreeing with shall1028.

[condesardaneta]

@shall1028 USA should use MKS sistem btw, and celsius, it would be easier.

[zacmobile]

@Xenphenik 76 is still insanely hot, that's almost 25, who the hell keeps their house that warm?

[ravedog]

@Xenphenik Then don't buy the AMERICAN product.

[AutomaticGameplay]

@Xenphenik i thouht the same LOL

[ynnigkcir]

@Xenphenik-- Like Celsius is better. Stupid Europeans.

[bazem]

@ynnigkcir You mean stupid "rest of the world"? Theres something wrong with your logic.

[ericrwalker]

@Xenphenik

76 F is hot too. I like it between 68 and 71.

[gbisaga]

@Xenphenik Why is Fahrenheit stupid? Both it and Celcius are rather arbitrary measuring systems. True, Celcius is based on water under certain conditions, but even that is arbitrary. Do you you use kelvins for everything?

[EddieDaOnly1]

@Xenphenik I would like Celsius but I don't know it :C im into the 24 hour clock fuck the 12 hour

[PovichG]

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

[Ahzlon]

Good Morning Dave.

[MrEmohdee]

before you know it it'll be doin your old lady...

[IiILightRIiI]

"It never stops learning" lmao....

[starrychloe]

Why can't you just have a range? Less than 60F turn on the heat, greater than 78F turn on the A/C?

[Fer08G]

be careful pretty soon this thermostat will run your goverment!

[java575]

@Fer08G LoL maybe it will do something good for the world!

infinite learning capabilities... GODDAMN SKYNEST!

[MrMobileMusic]

IT NEVER STOPS LEARNING.

OH GOD.

[SkippyLeDoo]

@MrMobileMusic The knowledge it deduces fuels it like some sort of knowledge powered machine!

[W4lly16]

@MrMobileMusic It when you are sleeping, It knows when you're awake, It knows if you are hot or cold...

[KamenRiderBlackSun]

but what does it learn???

[qoaa]

awesome the man who sold apple the ipod has made this...

thank god he woke up and left apple

[THS1537]

@qoaa I feel like i need to explain this to you.

Steve Jobs is the credited creator to the iPod.

He passed away this year due to rare form of pancreatic cancer.

He co-founded Apple during his young-adult years.

So there.

[qoaa]

@THS1537 that dont mean diddly shit, Jobs did not create the ipod the inventor of the Nest did he was the head and is the actual inventor that started the ipod with apple, Steve didn't do shit but market it.

Tony Fadell is the father and inventor of the Ipod and came up with the idea while working at Apple. He left Apple to start the Nest company after talks and rumors of Apple's closed minded view of software/ designs. Tony Fadell is also in Forbes magazine as the father of the ipod google it

[postal2600]

@qoaa If he is so genius, why the hell did he invented THIS CRAP ?! The iPod was not invented by him nor by Steve Jobs. Was a team work. He was just the lead for that team (quote from a TechCrunch interview). And time will tell and will see if Steve Jobs had his fingerprints on the Apple products. My guess is that it does, and we'll see a drop in Apple inovations in the years to come.

[THS1537]

@qoaa *credited*

He is a household name as "the guy that created the iPod and the iPad".

[10txram]

I want one just for looks

[n0rion7]

save energy but not using a thermostat at all, not necessary

[ghmasterjj]

1st step to robots taking over the world.. in thermostat form.

[UltimateStudios32]

@ghmasterjj how

[ekovv]

i want it cuz it looks cool

[onehundredand37]

wtf is this rubbish

[darkstars101]

@onehundredand37

The future.

[melloe]

I'm sold.

[SatanRulesYouAll]

Proof that Robots are taking over...

[UltimateStudios32]

@SatanRulesYouAll how

[princesden]

But will it blend?

[nickram81]

Shut up and take my money!!!

[kj4rqz]

Very cool

[MogrooT2]

this is only for rich poeple

[iamthejeff]

@MogrooT2 if you think $250 is too much of an investment for continued savings on energy bills, then you're dumb I'm afraid.

[Ambushcrysis]

@iamthejeff If you are too lazy to just adjust the temperture yourself and save on energy bills instead of wasting $250 then you're dumb and lazy i'm afraid.

[MogrooT2]

@iamthejeff really only 250 dolars, an how about the rest of the house cuz i suppose i have to make my house like hermetic, cuz if you see the clip look the house dude, make one clip in a normal house and see how many cahnges they make, im not rich you know i have to safe some money for some things,

[nioxic]

i dont even have anything like the thing they replaced...

I have radiators.. that are never turned on. climate in this cold denmark is apparently juuuuust right :p

[nois3]

does it come in Celsius

[bluetorch13]

I think the price is cheap for what it does, I almost bought one and I don't even hace A/C at home! rofl! I love it!

[Fishercardinal]

Dave? What are you doing Dave? I really think I am entitled to an answer to that question. I feel much better now. I really do. I know I've some made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I'm learning your temperature preferences Dave. Dave? Dave... stop... I'm afraid...

[McBeaver00]

We are thermostat. We are one.

[solecize]

Sweet! can I play Tempest on that awesome arcade spinner?

[MadCampAl]

Holy Shit!

I want one.

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

[DisturbedFood]

it looks...... beautiful

[nickcarraway16]

How is this useful? Isn't the point of a programmable thermostat that you don't change it every time you feel the urge to be warmer/cooler? This will only learn to infuriate dads everywhere.

[forstle]

Now if it only played music...

[spavaai]

Skynest.

[kojm94]

Fucking genius!!



[inofaith]

Took them long enough to make this.

soon it will cook its human owners

looks like a commercial by apple

[nightwish22893]

@arvarvarvarvarv the two people who made it, worked at apple. (they were the makers of the iPod)

[snikkel111]

Looks like a cool product but I can't really tell from this ad. Maybe a little less music and a little more explanation?

[SpacemanSpiff23]

Who the hell is setting there thermostat to 76 degrees?
