    I thought nest was smart enough to do it in its own

    That is hilarious @TEXASBGE2018 thanks for the laugh. Now would you please escort yourself out of Texas. The guy probably left the boat out so he could remember which house is his.
    I’m just disappointed that my deliberate attempt to create a topic (HOAs friend or foe?) for the Friday night zoom session didn’t even apparently get discussed.  :|
    Lol ....FWIW although I don't live in an HOA, but after 35 years. I am that guy in the neighborhood

    I had a look at Nest a while ago and wasn't that impressed. Why did you take it out and what model to replace it? I need to change my controller and thermostat, want something easier to programme and with variable temperatures evening / day / 
    Oh I apologize I changed my Nest thermostat over from the cool setting to the heat setting. I have had my Nest thermostat for about 4 years and am very happy with it

    Haha. No need for a cool setting here!

    The house we moved into last year has a nest. Like many thermos, you can set just heat or just cool or auto.  Set points tell it what to do.  If you like one constant temp regardless of heat or cool, it’s probably not great as the set points for heat or cool have to be a few degrees apart.

    fwiw, I have yet to experience it learning anything.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

    Haha good one, over here they started charging $1 probably at least two years ago. I use my own compressor and precision gauge. Hand pump in winter because tankless compressor collects condensation.

    You can turn on Auto-Schedule and it will start learning and creating a schedule. I don’t use it, prefer to just adjust manually and I use eco mode which uses a set temp range when there’s no movement in front of the thermostat for awhile.

    Just back from a couple errands in the wifes Santa Fe, with the cool Fall temps I decided to check tire pressures while fueling up (she never checks them) and needed 4-6 pounds in each.  Thing is, this gas station always had free air, now charging 25 cents.  Angie asks me why... I replied "Inflation".

    @Legume hope it makes sense now  :)

    Think this is inrefrence to the "inflation" joke about gas stations charging $0.25 for air.

    I solved it by installing a compressor in one car and a portable compressor for other cars.

    Yep, it was on auto schedule when we moved in and we kept it on for a good 6-9 months before giving up on it. It did change things and adjust, I just wouldn’t call it learning.  We bailed on that and use a schedule, basically coldest we’re comfortable with and hottest we’re comfortable with.   We’ll manually adjust when we feel the need, or turn on the gas fireplace or use the whole house fan to augment as well.  I hate waking up with the heater blaring and I’d rather put on a fleece than have it t-shirt warm in the winter.  We do adjust when family visit.

    That is a score. don’t worry that the strips are not as marbled as some of the other Wagyu you see. They are still fantastic  I don’t know how they do it but this is some of the best beef you can buy anywhere. Those are fantastic prices for it as well. Meat butter.

    The Wagyu Strip from Kroger's/Fry's is my go to steak now.  I like it more than the Wagyu ribeye.  My Fry's used to carry SRF Strip, buy switched to a different Wagyu supplier right now.  I wonder of COVID restraunt shutdowns are leading to high quality beef at big grocery chains?

    That is how we use the "smart thermostats" too.  Our Nest kept learning  into a weird corner cases and was annoying so we use a fixed schedule.  My favorite ability is to track run times and adjust from my phone.

    Just saw that the wagyu is Heartbrand beef.  I only have three data points with their briskets but it is top quality as noted by @The Cen-Tex Smoker.  Better to be lucky than good any day.

    I love their stuff. I used to have to go to a specialty butcher in Richardson to get it, nice to have it 3 miles from my house now.
