Comments on: What makers of the ‘learning thermostat’ learned to redesign Nest http://gigaom.com/2012/11/05/what-makers-of-the-learning-thermostat-learned-to-redesign-nest/ Mon, 20 May 2013 22:18:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Erik Erickson http://gigaom.com/2012/11/05/what-makers-of-the-learning-thermostat-learned-to-redesign-nest/#comment-1152234 Tue, 06 Nov 2012 18:32:45 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=580967#comment-1152234 Np, I just really wanted to know how much it was cut down. Half an hour seems perfect.

Thanks for flagging!

Based on looking at the data they’d collected over a year and a half, Nest changed auto away so it turns on after an hour and a half.”

But that’s exactly what is stated to be the old model’s behavior. Which takes an hour and a half: the old one or the new one?
