I also see the strength of what the thermostat sees as the wireless signal strength from my wireless access point. That same information is also presented on the smart phone app sans the wireless signal strength. Not sure if the Nest app does this.
I've had great results with nest. I also have the doorbell cam/intercom and the smoke and co detector. They are all flawless. If the CO detector detects CO it can tell the thermostat to turn off the air to prevent circulation of CO and buy you some time. Also all the smoke detectors can talk to each other and simultaneously announce which room has smoke. The list goes on. The display is pretty clear you can see it from across the room or using the mobile app or web interface on desktop. The screen is smaller but it has all the info I need that I can see across the room and is customizable.
