Last year I purchased and installed a 3M Filtrete Touchscreen WiFi-Enabled Programmable Thermostat and have generally been very happy with it. It's not automatic, but it's programmable and it has a remote control iPhone app and a very nice programmable web API. Since I work at home, sometimes I am in my home office and other times I'm in a local coffee shop, and in these instances I just use the phone to turn off heat as I leave.
去年，我购买并安装了3M Filtrete触摸屏，支持WiFi的可编程温控器，总体上对此感到非常满意。 它不是自动的，而是可编程的，并且具有远程控制的iPhone应用程序和非常好的可编程Web API。 由于我在家工作，因此有时我在家庭办公室中，而其他时候我在当地的咖啡店中，在这些情况下，我仅在离开时使用手机关闭热量。
More recently I've been hearing about the Nest Learning Thermostat. There are two generations, Nest Gen 1 and Nest Gen 2 which is 20% thinner than the first Nest and includes support for 95% of North American heating and cooling systems.
最近，我听说过Nest Learning Thermostat 。 Nest Gen 1和Nest Gen 2有两代，它们比第一代Nest薄20％，并且支持95％的北美加热和冷却系统。
I saved up and bought one. It's great.
我存钱买了一个。 这很棒。
OOBE-开箱即用的体验 (OOBE - Out of Box Experience)
When you spend $200 or more on a Thermostat you're expecting to be impressed. The entire experience from unboxing through installation and usage is absolutely top notch. There's an online Nest Compatibility Tool you can use to check if you've got the right wires for Nest to work with your heating and cooling system. If that doesn't cut it, you are invited to take picture (!) of your setup and send it to them. Classy.
当您在恒温器上花费$ 200或更多时，您会印象深刻。 从拆箱到安装和使用的整个体验绝对是一流的。 有一个在线Nest兼容性工具，可用于检查您是否拥有正确的电线以使Nest可以与您的供暖和制冷系统配合使用。 如果仍不能解决问题，请您拍摄设置的照片(！)并将其发送给他们。 优雅
Unboxing it is like unboxing an iPhone or high end receiver. It's like unboxing HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey, in fact, which is pretty awesome.
取消装箱就像将iPhone或高端接收器装箱。 实际上，这就像从2001年的《 HAL：太空漫游》中取消装箱一样，这真是太棒了。
安装 (Installation)
The box includes every piece of hardware you could need. Even the tiny screwdriver they included is brilliant. It's got 4 magnetic tips and it's become my favorite screwdriver for small computer stuff and I've taken to keeping it on my desk. It may seem a small thing, but think about that for a second. Someone decided to make and ship an awesome screwdriver. I love that.
包装盒中包含您可能需要的所有硬件。 甚至包括的小螺丝刀都很棒。 它有4个磁性尖端，已经成为我最喜欢的小型计算机螺丝起子，并且我一直将其放在桌子上。 这似乎是一件小事，但请仔细考虑一下。 有人决定制造和运送一把很棒的螺丝刀。 我喜欢那个。
There's a rectangular back plate included that can be used to cover holes from your previous installation.
随附一个矩形背板，可用于覆盖先前安装中的Kong。
I went back and forth about using the back plate and came to the conclusion that a thermostat this fancy deserved a few hours of extra effort. I could have slapped the back plate on the wall and been done in minutes but instead I took a little bit of putty/spackle, filled the holes left from the previous thermostat and painted with a small modeler's paintbrush.
我来回使用后板，得出的结论是，花哨的恒温器值得花几个小时的额外精力。 我本可以在墙上拍打后板，然后在几分钟内完成，但取而代之的是我抹了一点油灰/油灰，填满了以前的恒温器剩下的Kong，并用小型建模者的画笔绘画。
花时间画画 (Take the Time and Paint)
I am EXTREMELY happy and a more than little proud of the results.
我非常高兴，并对结果感到非常自豪。
连接网络 (Connect the Network)
You snap the Nest onto the round backing and it immediately turns on. You rotate the Nest's outer ring to make selections and you press in to make a selection. My Nest needed to update itself and apparently Nests will auto-update without you having to do anything but wait a bit.
您将Nest固定到圆形背衬上，然后立即打开。 旋转Nest的外环进行选择，然后按进行选择。 我的Nest需要自我更新，而且显然Nests会自动更新，而您无需再做任何事情。
好(零坏) (The Good (there's been Zero Bad))
I've had the Nest for a few weeks now and while I can't tell if it's saved me a pile of money yet, I can note a number of significant things that have made a difference to me and the family.
我已经拥有Nest几周了，虽然我不能确定它是否为我节省了一大笔钱，但我可以注意到许多对我和家人都产生了重大影响的重要事情。
- I've had to fiddle with the Nest much LESS than my previous wireless thermostat. We used to adjust the Filtrete a few times a day. I had created a schedule but it couldn't handle how I'd leave sometimes at random. 与以前的无线恒温器相比，我不得不在Nest上花更少的钱。 我们过去每天要调整Filtrete几次。 我已经创建了一个时间表，但是它无法处理我有时会随机离开的方式。
My wife gets it more than the previous thermostat because it's extremely simple. The Filtrete required several button pushes to change the temperature and the scheduler was circa a 1900s LCD VCR.
我的妻子比以前的恒温器得到的更多，因为它非常简单。 Filtrete需要按几次按钮才能更改温度，而调度程序大约在1900s LCD VCR上。
- The auto-away feature is almost worth the price of admission. Our thermostat is located in our Family Room near the door we use to enter and exit the house. Auto-away works fantastically and exactly as you'd think it should. 自动离开功能几乎值得入场。 我们的恒温器位于我们进入和退出房屋门附近的家庭活动室。 自动离开功能非常出色，完全符合您的想象。
- The Nest is dark until you walk up to it. It turns on the display literally as you approach. It's fun to walk by it. 巢是黑暗的，直到你走到它为止。 当您接近时，它将按字面意义打开显示。 走路很有趣。
- It tells you how long it will take for the house to reach a certain temperature because it learns how long your house takes to move temperatures. My wife used to turn the thermostat really hot because she thought that if she set it to 80 then it would get to 72 faster. The Nest solves that problem by telling her it will reach 72F in 15 minutes. 它告诉您房屋达到特定温度需要多长时间，因为它会了解您的房屋移动温度需要多长时间。 我妻子以前常常把恒温器调得很热，因为她认为，如果将恒温器设置为80，那么它将更快地升至72。 Nest通过告诉她在15分钟内达到72F的温度来解决该问题。
The Nest app is as well-designed as the Next, or more so. The Nest is simple and hides complexity but if you go digging and WANT to see what the underbelly looks like, it hides little. You can get details on the wiring - now hidden physically but visible virtually.
Nest应用的设计与Next一样好，甚至更多。 Nest非常简单，而且隐藏了复杂性，但是如果您想挖掘并想了解下腹部的样子，Nest几乎不会隐藏。 您可以获取有关布线的详细信息-现在已在物理上隐藏，但实际上可见。
You can see the schedule that the Nest automatically gleaned based on yours and your family's behaviors. For the first week you are asked to adjust the Nest as much as you like in order to teach it about your preferences. It uses this data, combined with local weather and noticing if you leave to build a schedule. It also overrides that schedule liberally using auto-away.
您可以查看Nest根据您和您家人的行为自动收集的时间表。 在第一周，系统会要求您尽可能调整Nest，以了解其偏好设置。 它使用此数据，结合当地天气并通知您是否要建立时间表。 它还会使用自动离开功能自由地覆盖该计划。
The Nest is kind of the Prius of home thermostats, and I say that as a happy Prius owner. It make saving (or trying to save) energy a game. It'll show a leaf when you are choosing temperatures that can save energy. In the fourth screenshot you can see an icon on Thursday that indicated that I adjusted it manually and caused an energy savings. On Tues the weather was warmer than expected and caused the Nest to save energy.
Nest是家用恒温器的Prius，我是作为Prius的拥有者感到高兴的。 它可以节省(或试图节省)游戏能量。 当您选择可以节省能源的温度时，它将显示一片叶子。 在第四个屏幕截图中，您可以看到星期四的图标，该图标指示我手动进行了调整并节省了能量。 在星期二，天气比预期的温暖，这使Nest节省了能源。
You can zoom in on any of these graphs and get LOTS of details. You can see here that I left for lunch at Noon on Friday.
您可以放大任何这些图并获取很多详细信息。 您可以在这里看到我星期五中午离开去吃午餐。
The best thing about the Nest. It's simple and its simplicity hides enormous complexity. It's a luxury item, to be sure, but it's a joy to use. I'm impressed and I suspect that when a Nest is $100 at Home Depot that they'll own the market.
Nest最好的东西。 它很简单，它的简单隐藏了巨大的复杂性。 可以肯定，这是一种奢侈品，但使用起来却很快乐。 我印象深刻，我怀疑当Nest在Home Depot的售价为100美元时，他们将拥有市场。
I'll update the post in a few months when I have several heating bills.
当我有几张暖气费账单时，我将在几个月后更新该帖子。
