Anyone with nest thermostat?

Hi,

We would love to see if there is someone with a nest thermostat willing to help us test our alpha prototype (https://rumy.io).

Please give a shout back and we can meet at DMS anytime.

I had a nest in my last home (actually, still have it but the house is
rented out) I have a new Nest still in the box to be installed where I live
now. What is it that you need? Maybe I can help.

We want someone to test:

  1. For the bugs we are yet to find
  2. What is the user experience and how we can better that.
  3. We will log few parameters to see if and how much energy is being saved.

Probably for a week or two.

Let me know if you have any concern(s). I appreciate the kind offer.

I have a nest and have been using it for about 2 years. I’d be willing to help with your project.

We’d love to test one. We live in an urban loft down in Deep Ellum and temp
control is tricky because of the difference between where the thermostat is
versus where our bed/living area is (upstairs in the “loft” part and I’ve
wondered if such a thing even existed. Feel free to email me directly at:

Awsome. I will prepare two prototypes by tomorrow. Thanks guys for the offer to help.

@pandabob, I’ve sent you an email to the address above.

Mike, Would you like to meet sometime so we can give you the prototype? Saturday afternoon?

I have a nest that tries to freeze me because it thinks everyone has a 9-5 schedule.

Do you want to give Rumy a try? (if you think it is interesting)

Sure, I think I played with a prototype you had at the space a while back.

I have a second thermostat I can replace it with and can test them both at the same time

Oh. Rumy will work with the nest you have. It works as a portable interface for smart thermostats like nest. A little more intelligently where it can detect the ambient temperature of its location.

You can’t replace your old one with Rumy. It is wireless.

That’s even better! The locations of my thermostats are mindbogglingly bad

I can meet you at the Makerspace Saturday Afternoon or one evenings this week

We have two prototypes :frowning: Since, Mike and Steve responded first, @PearceDunlap is it possible that we give another one within few days? We are working on making few more.

No worries I’ll be around

Just responded to the email you sent last night. Looks like you have several people willing to test but if you need another just let me know.

Also have a nest here if you need more victims eerrrrr testers :wink:
