About this deal
Looks like slight price decrease
I wonder if it will go back down to £110 like in 2022 or £159 during BF

- Saving energy starts with your thermostat. Your thermostat controls 60% of your energy bill. So shouldn’t it help you save energy? The Nest Learning Thermostat does. Since 2011, it’s saved over 4 billion kWh of energy in millions of homes worldwide*. Because it learns from you. It gets to know the temperature that you like while you’re at home. And turns itself down when you’re away. It even learns how your home warms up or how draughty it is, so it only uses the energy that it needs
- Auto-Schedule. Just turn it up and down. It learns the temperatures that you like and creates a schedule for you
- Home/Away Assist. It automatically adjusts the temperature after you’ve left. It can even turn off your hot water if you’re away for a few days
- Hot water. Now you can control your hot water tank. And give your hot water a boost when you need it
- OpenTherm technology. Nest now uses OpenTherm technology to modulate your high-efficiency condensing boiler
- Remote control. Change the temperature and control your hot water tank from anywhere using your mobile, tablet or laptop
- Farsight. When the Nest Thermostat spots you across the room, it lights up beautifully to show you the time, temperature or weather
- Pro install. The Nest Thermostat should be installed by a Nest Pro who will make sure that it’s in the right location, connect the Heat Link and set it up for you. Find a local pro at nest.com/eu/…all
- Better together. The Nest Thermostat works with Nest Protect. If Nest Protect detects dangerous carbon monoxide gas, it can tell the Nest Thermostat to turn off the boiler - a common source of CO leaks

sorted byI have Nest and my parents have the Hive Mini which I manage for them. Both are good systems but the Nest system doesn't seem to have had any software or hardware updates for several years after Google acquired them. I'm a bit nervous about them pulling the plug on the whole service at some point.
Hive on other hand still seems to be actively developed. I find scheduling on their app much easier to manage. A feature they added in the last couple of years allows you to see a chart of the room temperature throughout the day. Also quite like that they've got other smart control devices that can run from the same platform like motion sensors, light bulbs and sockets.
Nest has add-ons but limited to cameras and smoke alarms.
Nest has a humidity sensor which Hive doesn't, but again can only get the live view.
Nest hardware looks and feels nicer. It doesn't need a hub to connect to your router so it's a slightly cleaner setup but then the hub is fair if you're looking to add other devices.
I’m a pretty competent DIYER?
If you have an existing wired thermostat that you are replacing, it is a doddle. I followed a YouTube video and was up and running in less than an hour.
I'm planning on installing it on the wall, but there's no constant power supply. I don't like the idea of leaving it on the table. (edited)
This is an "ok" deal, i'll vote heat for the drop but I'm still waiting out for more.
I don't think it'll go back down to that £110 point...I would bite if it was around £130-140...I think that's realistic?
Regardless, this has been very useful in those years and would recommend even at this price.
Google seem to have removed the ability to control the thermostat with Alexa (the skill is there but it will not find your thermostat on your Google account) and have been stubbornly silent about this. But it's a bit of a gimmick anyway and hasn't affected me using the Nest app.
