Nest vs Ecobee! The BEST Smart Thermostat is…

Summary

This video provides a detailed comparison of the Nest 4th Gen and Ecobee Premium smart thermostats, both highly relevant for STR hosts managing energy costs and guest comfort. The Ecobee Premium is recommended as the overall winner due to its superior screen visibility, more flexible scheduling, adjustable temperature swing settings, and better remote sensor capabilities (including occupancy detection). The Nest is a viable option primarily for homes without a C-wire or for users who prefer its aesthetic and the "Suggestions" learning mode, but it suffers from a highly reflective screen and more restrictive settings.
