Re: Nest on Shabbos
While researching the Nest about 1.5 years ago it seemed to be problematic for Shabbos. Does anyone know if there have been any product/software changes since then now making it Shabbos compatible? Anyone prepared to share relevant psaks they’ve received?
as a frum person, I have had Nest for over 3 years. You CAN turn off the “turn on screen upon approach” feature, this means you need to press it in order to turn the screen on. The only downside is that the screen is off otherwise so you have no way of seeing what the current temperature/setting actually is on Shabbos. Great features though!
Post says: “For religious Jews, you can turn off the “auto-away†and the “screen on upon approach†features to make this sabbath compatible.”
My questions are:
1. Are only “religious Jews” obligated to keep Shabbos?
2. Who endorses this statement, was it approved by any Halachic Authority with knowledge of the technology in this?
Full disclosure:
Make sure this is compatible with our house, I bought these for a few people and most houses do not have the common c wire and the way the device recharges itself is by alternating the charge between the RW and RH wires. If your heating system is baseboard and not forced air then you may have a dead nest in a few weeks since the heat is not always one so there is not always power running through the wires. With a forced air system it can charge itself whenever via the fan wire. Officially Nest will tell you that your system is good but caveat emptor.
This item is out of stock.
US $299.99
I followed the link and the page listed a price of $299.99 — is the deal dead?
Coming up now as $299..
Dan, Google is now offering the Nexus 5X for $199!! It’s only available if u activate ProjectFi but you can just pay for 1 month $20 and then switch to any other carrier. The 32GB model is also discounted.

@Steve:
Right on…have a switch board(control board) from Tyco and they said that Nest causes problems. 3rd generation draws even more apms. vs. 2nd…so might not work too well with older heating systems
