Getting the Nest thermostat installed along with a new boiler.
Any thoughts on this bit of kit?

Thermostat is a thermostat is a thermostat.
Do you expect it to make you a cup of tea?

There is something to be said about having the ability of controlling your thermostat from anywhere in the world.
The nest looks good but is pricey, there are cheaper ones on the market.

Well done, now you have an easy earner for your energy supplier.
The foreign cunts will hack it and ramp up your heating to 30 deg in the middle of the day while you are out and delete any log files/history.
MUSLIM energy companies!!! Its a utility jihad.

Was Nest spun off from Alphabet like a lot the other Google stuff?
If not and even possibly if so, Nest is not just another thermostat, if you are worried about your privacy.

You are correct IOC.
Initially invented and developed by an ex Apple guy, the Home/Nest company was eventually bought by Google for over 3 billion dollars..
A very good reason to buy the other, more affordable models on the market.

Yes, it will really impress the people you are with - being able to adjust the thermostat in an empty fucking house because whilst you are sat in Benidorm.

I suppose it's a good idea if you're travelling home and fancy a warm house to enter.
You could of course use a TIMER

I've had Hive installed at a holiday property I own, which can be empty some of the time during the Winter...being able to check the heating isn't knackered is very handy, a burst pipe would be far more expensive than installing Hive

What a strange thing to say, you would actually boast about your thermostat if you had one?. And as it happens, monkey bollocks, I have never been to Benidorm.
Those who live in an ever changing schedule appreciate the ability to turn heat/cool up or down when an event changes your daily routine. A timer just doesn't work as it can turn stuff on when you are not there and stuff off when you are! It's a pretty simple fucking concept.
*Shakes head in wonder*

Piston - I wasn't talking about you specifically, but seeing as you launched into a diatribe of 'ever changing schedules' then the cap obviously fits.

overbyter, for one who is involved in technology you sound so angry and bitter over a simple wifi thermostat.
The world's is always changing OB, don't get left behind.
Now where's my bottle of windolene? Gotta clean them panels.

Two hundred and fifty quid for a thermostat!!
Do you want to buy some magic beans as well?
Oh and don't use windolene on your panels - the 'experts' say you must use de-ionised water.
