Oh a thing! Can I eat it?

Got a Nest thermostat!

The Nest arrived tonight so I quickly took the old thermostat off the wall and got started.

I was super impressed by the unboxing experience. The mount has a built-in level. And it came with a nice little screwdriver too.

It doesn't look that level in the photos, though, does it? :)

After I got another hole drilled, the wires connected, and placed the optional wall cover over all the holes and marks left by the old thermostat, it connected to wifi and then downloaded updates for 30 minutes or more...

But now it's awesome! It even has a proximity sensor so it knows if you're not in the house and enters away mode.

And you can control it from the Internet or your phone.
