Honestly, just the base Nest thermostat works well enough. Not as fancy as their "learning" thermostat, but you can access it from anywhere to change temps or set schedules, I like the simple rundown it gives for month by month usage comparisons, and it's not overly complicated to setup and use.

I got mine free from my power company, but it's usually under $100 at most retailers.

I've heard my state just approved some type of discount program but they don't know why it will take affect essentially giving $50 off nest thermostats. Didn't know if there were others worth looking into.

Google nest or Hive are the two best, I’m a gas and heating engineer (UK) that’s all I Fit
Your customers are stuck between two "smart" devices... Not much of a choice there.

For non-smart devices this thread may interest some:

Honeywell T4R is not bad I guess, but yes, most people want smart stats, even older customers are moving towards it ;)

I'm not smart, not dumb. I use myself as the thermometer. I run around totally nakey around the house, so if I feel Freezing 🥶 Cold, I simply turn up the thermostat, And of course likewise, if I feel Burning 🔥 Hot, I turn the damn thing OFF ! :angry:

Thus, I'm saving :hrth: :toot::teach::grog: 👉 [💰] 👈 :grog::teach::toot::hrth: :D Duh

    I rather enjoy a life of taking it easy. I haven't reached that life yet though.

    He put it down when the 3ds came out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @K3Nv2, RIP Felix does great videos on the PS3 yellow-light-of-death.
  • Jayro @ Jayro:
    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite
    for people with beefy hands.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that's a long shot
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
