Lowest ever price according to CamelCamelCamel. Doesn't include installation, so may be good for someone looking to add a second Nest to their home?
This is the second generation, which I own, and as I have a combi-boiler there is not really a great deal different to the 3rd Gen (which is still £199.99)
*edit* Now £133.99

Exclamation mark at end of deal title so must be an absolute bargain. I'm in. :sunglasses:

I like it for monitoring what the OH is setting the temperature at.. IFTTT notifies me when she's turned it above 20'c :wink:

Pointless item. Anyone who can't turn on the heating themselves when they get home if it is cold and wait 15 minutes or so for it to warm up needs to man up.

Are these easy to install and do you have to have a certain type of boiler ?
heat by the way

Should work with most, if not all, boilers, and I managed to successfully fit mine in under an hour (although I've no doubt violated countless nanny-state edicts in the process).

Not sure about Nest, but I installed my own one (Netatmo). Simple enough. Just two wires. No harder than wiring a plug. Don't see why this would be any different. It's just a relay that switches the boiler on and off.
The trickiest part was actually getting to the connection points for the wires on the controller board in the boiler. Had to dismantle more of the boiler casing than I expected. (Worcester GreenStar Junior)
They're great though. Should be standard in all new homes if you ask me.
I've added the weather station to my setup now so my heating reacts to the temperature readings from the weather station (in my back garden). Uses it for heating prediction etc. Very happy with my setup now. :smiley:

How would this work if I already have a wireless RF thermostat in my house connected to a combi boiler in the garage?

replaces the wireless thermostat and receiver unit.

Yes. Your transmitter box is basically the thermostat. Rip that out and wire into that. I fitted a thermostat like yours by taking out the standard thermo and wiring in the transmitter there

60 to 150 quid for installation in my area :confused:
Are they hard to install yourself? Don't really need one but it looks great as an ornament :laughing:

Fantastic price. Could not live without mine now. If you do not have a Wi-Fi enabled thermostat...stop living in the past! What are you waiting for?! :stuck_out_tongue:

Is the free smartmeter rollout by the govt going to make these redundant?
tony5101 to dush_yant

No - SmartMeters don't control your heating. These are glorified thermostats.

They are not a thermostat. They are just an advanced gas/electric meter that will automatically send your energy use info to your energy company. Nest allows you to control your heating on your phone and from anywhere in the world. Totally different products.
It was a very frustrating bug but no one was "left without heating". The bug stopped the Nest pre-heating so the house was at a desired temperature for when you wanted it. It could be overridden and set manually. It was bad but it was a very rare one off glitch in the new software. Nest got it fixed as soon as they could.

The smart meter rollout is already redundant. And they haven't even rolled it out yet!

This controls temperature. Smart meters measure electricity usage and report over data networks. There isn't much crossover.
