AnswerHi Dennis
Just to let you know, I saw a news flash today. Nest just released there version 3.5 software. Nest thermostats now have Advanced Fan Control. Current Nests can be upgraded apparently.
This was the one feature I was waiting for.
just google nest.com new summer software
(apple does not allow a URL in these answers)

What about our pets?
We have dogs and plants like most red blooded Americans do. I'd be concerned that this product wouldn't account for their comfort while we're away at work. Obviously they don't require quite the same level of climate control that we would, but I was wondering if there is some means of taking their needs into consideration?

Best AnswerOne Nest device for each thermostat replaced. The Nest allows you to name each device individually then control them individually or remotely, with one mobile app. I just installed three in my house.

Does it automatically switch between heat and cool?
- Asked by Ray O from Tampa
- Dec 18, 2012
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes - but the downside is that the thermostat will operate within a range of temperatures. I want the bedroom to be at 70 but the narrowest range I can get it 70-73. Not a big deal but otherwise it would be working overtime switching between heat and cool to try to hold a specific temperature.

AnswerThe lowest the interface will allow is 40°F. My understanding is that this is a necessary safety margin to ensure that no areas are below freezing.

What do you do when you have multiple thermostats in a house?
I have an upstairs and a downstairs. How do they work together? Do you buy two and do they interface somehow?
- Asked by Brian M from Kansas City

Best AnswerYou would buy one for each zone. They both get registered with your Nest account, and can both be controlled both via the web interface and within the iOS apps. They will automatically communicate with each other to sync information like auto-away status.
