Hello,
Curious if anyone uses the Nest thermostat for a business?
We currently have programmable thermostats, but people change them and sometimes they get messed up. With energy costs rising, I'd like to have more control over temperature settings.
What I would like in a thermostat:
1. Programmable via a computer. I do not want to go to each thermostat and set it and don't want to set it on my phone (though it may be nice to check on my phone in an emergency).
2. Daily programmable. i.e., this temperature at 6:30 am on M-F, this temperature at 6 pm on M-F, this temperature at 3 on Saturday, etc.
3. Preferably ability to program multiple thermometers at once.
My biggest issue is that so many thermometers want you to have an app on your phone. I want to easily check and program them from the computer. It seems like Nest does this, but I haven't been able to find more detailed information.

Using any consumer-grade thermostat on a commercial HVAC may or may not work.
Noe are really designed to do what you want to do, but there are commercial thermosats that can do it.
