    We installed Nest thermostats at YC and frankly it has been a disaster. Design does not end with the case, guys.

        @paulg I don't think they're designed for large/commercial buildings with single huge rooms w/ lots of windows.

        @paulg I've made my own PID (semi smart) thermostat using Arduino, 433 MHz transmitter, RC controlled 240 outlets, and electric oil heater.

        @paulg interesting, and precisely the opposite of my experience (we have two, in our home): works flawlessly and adapts effortlessly.

        @paulg I'm fairly certain they weren't designed for commercial buildings. HVAC in a 40K sqft office is more complex than a 2K sqft home.

        @paulg wasn't Nest for homes only...where only 4-5 members live...was it designed for an entire office at all? Just wondering!

        @paulg @SethPJohnson @AlarmDotCom you should try empower thermostats from http://alarm.com ! Similar concept but better! Much better!

        @paulg my biggest complaint is how closed the platform is - there's no good way to extend them.

        @paulg Now that I reread what I just wrote that came out kind of harsh. Sorry... best of luck.

        @paulg Probably shouldn't try screwing in lightbulbs either. The Nest is brilliant. Including the interface.

        @paulg My experience with Nest exceeded expectations. Home is always comfortable, less interaction from me required, energy bill reduced.
