NEST LEARNING THERMOSTATS - We have been testing the performance, reliability, and convenience of the Nest learning thermostat in our lab building since early in 2015 and have found the thermostat reliable, easy to control remotely by smartphone or computer, and an added source of peace of mind when a building is in a freezing climate.

Website excerpt: Here at Security.org, we don’t just review the latest safety products, we put them through rigorous, hands-on tests to make sure they actually deliver. Our team has collectively spent thousands of hours installing, poking and prodding everything from motion sensors and security cameras, to VPNs and anti virus software — to see just how burglar- and hacker-proof these systems really are.
In addition to our reviews, we provide you with custom tools to help you monitor your own privacy, as well as original research that has been cited by The New York Times, HuffPost, Tech Radar and CBS News. You can also access our whole library of up-close videos on our YouTube channel.
