Nest learning thermostat gets refreshed with a slimmer design

  • Matt, the founder of Nest, is doing an AMA right now: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/10tpxx/i_am_matt_roger...

  • Any updates to the software? I'd really like to see some kind of API available over the network.

    Radio Thermostat (http://www.radiothermostat.com/) makes a line that's not as pretty, but they provide a web/JSON interface that looks pretty interesting.

  • Will Nest work with a dual zone system? (Also does anyone have one of these? I have questions)

  • Nice, but I'm not spending $250 on a thermostat; I have 10 thermostats in my house.

  • My home has separate heating and cooling systems. (The heating is done with radiators and the cooling is a conventional AC.) Does anybody happen to know if Nest works in this type of system?

  • Can anyone comment on whether buying one of these is worth it and if they've seen any savings?

  • What happened with the patent issues we heard about a few months ago?

  • I'm curious to know if some of the software features of the new Nest will make it into an update for owners of the first-generation Nest.

  • I bought a Nest last November. The price was a little ouchy at first, but I've saved at least $100/month during the hottest months of the summer here in Houston, and it's paid for itself many times over by now. Plus, the ability to tweak the heating/cooling from my phone without getting out of bed is AWESOME.

    Glad to see that us "early adopters" will be getting the new software update. I see that my local electric provider is pimping the Nest as well; giving them away when you sign a contract of a certain length...
