holiday rental: Does anyone who has this device think it would work well in a holiday rental?

Maybe, the Nest has a learning feature that records your movements and temperature preferences. But it operates under the assumption that you have regular habits. By that I mean you get up at the same time, leave for work at the same time, come home at the same time, etc. In other words you have a regular schedule and Nest can make adjustments accordingly. If you have different tenants coming every few weeks, I don't think the Nest auto-scheduling or auto-away functions will be as effective.

I've had mine in one of my rental properties for almost a year now...no problems!

I sent mine back. I could not get it to work after multiple emails with the company. It comes preloaded with sites that don't exist. I tried four different preloaded locations with my kids - 2 were in the middle of parking lots, one was in the middle of a highway, one was somewhere along the side of a highwsy overgrown with brush. Bought the adapter to connect the device with the website and I couldn't update for my part of the country.

Not sure on this one. I would say, try it. The cost is not so great and can always be sent back. I experimented initially with these devices to achieve the results I wanted. It was fun. I knew I could always send them back, and was so happy when it did work!

Did you use it? Did it work? I'm looking to do the same thing and if it works, that would be awesome!!

I have found it to work very good. It has gotten better over time. I did find out voice commands will not work on the unit in Ireland. But around home it is good.

I had one. Used it for over 2 years and worked pretty good. Although I would probably recommend something else like fireTV over this. Depends on how much he wants, and how willing you are to fiddle with it.

I would not immerse it. But check with iRobot. It seems best suited for routine maintenance and not necessarily unjamming big problems.

I would think so!You would have to download their service. You could contact Amazon and pose that question. In all honesty, I can't say for sure. Good luck and have a enjoyable holiday.

I am with you. I have been looking for something smaller than a notebook to travel with that can email, keep track of daily activities, convert currency, show pictures and view ebooks. I don't want a phone because the monthly costs are outrages for the amount I use a cell and most places don't cover europe. If anyone hears of a good all round device I would love to hear about it.

The device has the capability, but I've never tried using it, so can't advise you on how to do it or how well it works.

I had to rent a flash updater 2 from ebay to set mine up. There a video on youtube that I watched, and it explains how it works. I put my in with a couple of little issues, but the support number for fortin was a big help. Personally not happy about having to rent or buy another device to flash the unit, but so far it is working great.

I would think so, but I have no experience using the devices you mentioned. I think it is a quality product that I very much recommend . Hope this helps.

Yes, but I'd get a dedicated DVD player for that... Even a cheap DVD player would provide better AV connections and produce a higher quality images and have a better remote. However, if you were travelling and wanted to plug it into the hotel TV, it should work fine.

I am not sure if anyone is using that or not. You may try giving BedRug a call and see if they have had any customers trying this out.

No it will not work, you will need a Universal Travel Adopter, you can buy one at www.crowdsavings.com.

Good Luck....I returned two units that I could not even get setup...very poor software and NO, repeat NO support. Unit not ready for the big time.
