Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for creating this!

Perhaps this wasn't working back in 2019, but in Gen 3 in 2020 the CURRENT TEMP and TARGET TEMP are different. I installed one in Oct 2020 and the CURRENT TEMP shows the current temperature in a very large font. The TARGET TEMP shows as he demoed. Great product which I'm glad I purchased. Works flawlessly with my Heat Pump.

Very informative about one of the features of nest

Nice video. This is great information. I don't understand why videos like this get some thumbs down. People are idiots. Thanks for putting out this information.

Helpful. Thank you. Still learning the smart home options, but loving it!

Gave me exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for your time and effort. Great Job.

Thanks for the informative video, I just bought one of these. One correction to your otherwise factual information: The "target temp" and "current temp" settings are not exactly the same. If you run your hand in front of the thermostat after it sleeps, you will get exactly the same display with either setting. But if you set "current temp" and then let it go to sleep, and then approach from a FARTHER distance, as it wakes up the display does actually show you the CURRENT temp in the center of the display. Walk a bit closer, and CURRENT temp will then move to the outer circle, and the inner display will switch to TARGET temp.

Very helpful. Thanks.

Cool information, thanks 😊

Thanks for this. Was getting annoyed it didn't have time on the display.

I hope the software gets updated. I want to see the current temperature always!!!

SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you so much! My husband has a fit because the Nest seems to be off about 4-5 degrees from our OLD thermostats (ambient temperature). He just doesn't want to accept they "READ" differently but this is VERY cool! Thank you!

can it be programmed before connecting ie; out of the box with no connections and then plugged in?

Why can’t a similar technology be applied to the Nest E as well as the new 2020 Google Nest thermostat?I have the latter thermostat and it wakes up from about 15-20 feet away. It seems as if a similar options to Farsight could be provided. Perhaps not all options as the screen resolution is lower. I think Nest is the only thermostat that defaults to displaying the set temperature instead of room temperature. I already know what temperature I set the thermostat for, but my first interest is what is the actual room temperature. Thanks.

Will it control furnace blower ON/OFF? My humidifier is mist kind and requires heat and blower working together with humidifier. My humidifier also requires furnace blower to work a couple minutes after humidifier switches off automatically to distribute all the moisture collected in the duct. If blower stops the same time with mist humidifier moisture still will sit inside plenum and makes it rust. Will this Humidifier Control have this setting so furnace blower work few minutes after humidifier switched off??

Great video. Can you create multiple displays of options --such as weather and the clock on the same screen? Doesn't look like you can

It would be nice if they combined the current temp inside and the digital clock.

There is no farsight setting in my T3018US model?

I like the display with the date, Temp outside, humidity, inside temp etc. Is there anyway to set this as the preferred display?

You mention that you have a nest thermostat in your bedroom. Is it just a slave unit wirelessly connected to the main unit that isactually connected to your heating/cooling system?

The INDOOR TEMP shows up very large and clear if you set it in Farsight. The trick is don't get to close or it will change back over to the DEFAULT Target Temp display in the middle.

Think am improvement would be able to select time - weather - stat ...and have it cycle through the m when the screen flicks on .

current temp will display in farsight for me but will change to detailed screen when I move right up to it displaying target temp in middle and current temp on perimeter.

Does wake on press awaken the thermostat by turning it or only by pressing it?

Does the new cheaper version of nest thermostat also have far sight?

Can someone help me this video help me a lot but my thermostat doesn’t turn on by it self I need to touched it to see how the temperature

Did they fix the Current Temp issue??

Farsight is the display from a Distance; hence the tern FARsight. Then as you get close it shows the control.

Mine shows current temp and only current temp 6 feet away. When i move closer it changes to set temp, thinking im going to change it. So wake it up further away.

The target temp and current temp farsight setting are different but the unit needs to be running. When it's running and farsight is activated (and you when you walk by the sensor) the current temp shows up on the full screen with either a blue or orange background to indicate if it's cooling or heating (then after a few seconds I goes back to the same screen as if you only had it in target temp option). Otherwise it looks like the same as seen in your video. *the edits I added are in the (....) brackets

I bought my Nest in 2018 how often should I update it? (Any9ne know?) It is not connected to WiFi

6:10 nice

Can you show temperature and time?

How do you do aways on display?

Is it cause it's Canada cause weather does not show more than current weather

❤️💖👍～Nest～👍💖❤️

Kinda miffed they did not put current temp in the middle for the current temp display.

Yea my Honeywell shows all of this at the same time plus more and I can see the temp from either end of the hallway. I still have my Nest 3rd Gen sitting in the package.

My far sight has stop working what do i need to do

How come my thermostat doesn't have the display option?

It's there any way to keep the display always on?

The quick menu, the one that comes up with a press displaying all the info, should be the farsight menu. We can't let Google get away with this.

That is not correct. The current temp will show if it is selected in Farsight but only from further that 3 feet away. As you get closer to the Nest the display will change and show target temp screen. Sorry just realized Kevin already mentioned this.

Can you turn it off or have the light dim, it can be annoying when dogs move in the room or wife gets up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.

i presume all this can be done through the app?

Always

Why do people have 2 thermostats if you can control it on your phone?

My weather stopped working...

Tried one, refused to connect to wifi, firestick, chrombook, phone, laptop have no problem. Hours with very polite customer support yeilded no results. Replaced with simple non wifi programable for 1/4 the price of cheapest model in less than 10 minutes. This is a solution in search of a problem with many down sides, certanly not worth my time.

Emerson ST55 has this feature and it is $100. The Nest and other thermostats are only good if you have a super high-end HVAC system. The majority of the homes in North America have far from perfect air circulation problems that render all these smart devices mostly useless. Geofencing is among those useful features, and guess what TS55 has that.

The memory on it won't let you set what you want and has a mind of its own I will never buy another one

Too fast.
