i have not looked at the coach thermostats, but they do seem to be odd ones for sure. mine are difficult to use and the front one is mounted where it is difficult to even see.
as far as the NEST goes, i have 3 of them at my house. and a nest protect. all 4 are on one screen to get to but you do control them individually.
we dont use the learning mode of the nest. since we are on peak time billing for electricity, our plan looks at the HIGHEST peak for any time during the month and then our entire month is billed at that peak demand charge rate. so we use the nest (it has a ton of on and off times) to make it so no two units are on at the same time, thus reducing the peak demand charge.
i also have a YORK wifi smart thermostat for my mancave in the shop because it is the only one my units will run variable speed on and it is a terrible system and more expensive as well. it works, but is very primitivie and flakey app for my phone.
