Nest Deals & Offers

Yeah i placed a couple of orders online with Maplins (various products) and so far have not got anything apart from a refund when i chase them about the order so it is really hit and miss now with anything you order from them. my sister has had her orders cancelled as well but this relates to home delivery options only and not the collect from store stuff.

Good luck getting one, i have visited bath and bristol store - both showed as in stock for this and smoke alarm, got there and met with very unhappy staff who said no all gone...even though it says in stock...

Thought it was just my phone that was playing up, was about to try on the PC so thanks for the heads up (y)

yep you cannot click & collect & can only check via the website what stores have stock so its pot luck really but if your store shows if there is stock you might be lucky

Can you click and collect or is it strictly first come first serve? I can’t seem to check out from the website.

EXPIRED voucher code

How do you check if your heating system works with nest or hive? I have an oil fired boiler.

DEAD

I have a brand new one for sale but without reading the regs im guessing you are not able to post ads or sell on here? Any people can enlighten me? thanks in advance....just curious really.

Ahh I think I must have had a stroke when I wrote that. Ignore me. Sorry!

I had a no stock by me either

No stock anywhere down south. (mad)

No problem (y)

Thanks OP!

Apologies I must of read it wrong :D

Glad I can help (y)

I was about to buy one from Amazon this morning. Thanks to this post, I managed to grab the last one from local Maplin. Cheers @zeekillah

You don't wire it to a old thermostat you need to replace your thermostat, which mean you would wire it up to your boiler.

Can You wire this to an old thermostat which is probably 20 years old

Also waiting for a readjustment of the Outdoor IQ price. Great bit of kit but won't pay any more than £299 out of principle. They've inflated the price outside of the US.

When is the lock coming to uk ? Been waiting 3 years now And yes iq outdoor is available but stupid price is the bees knees though just pricey at moment!!! Waiting for one of my hot deal brothers to find it cheap 😜

Where did you get the door bell? It's not available in the UK yet is it?

Correct. New Nest Outdoor Cam IQ coming to UK soon. More expensive but much better.

i can get staff discount on this too but with this I suppose I need another subscription to the cloud recording as I've got the Ring video door bell already setup?

Just got JL to price match this in the Trafford Centre, without the. WELCOME code @ £83.99. Had to make sure the closest physical store had it in store.

Nope.....mine still have the expiry as 10 years from manufacture.

No, that's not true. It's 10 years from manufacture, as that's how long the sensors last.

Check your credit card statement... I've been charged alot more than the Wolsely receipt says I should have been charged!! (Bought X3, South East London).

I received my 4 Gen 2's, 3 from 2016 and one from 2017. Phoned nest customer services who told me that the 10 years starts from set up and that this would be confirmed in the app. I'm a bit dubious as the woman made the mistake of telling me it was a 10 year warranty first then phoned back to correct herself. Has anyone set one up and found that the date of expiration did get extended to give you 10 years use? Also I think the serial number gives a clue to date before opening the package... In middle there is an AC then next 4 numbers seem to be week of year then month eg AC2616 was manufactured June 2016.

This may be because there is an offers page wher the Nest along with some other products are discounted so this is the discount offer price. No danger as if they are the old ones you send them back as they are not as described on the web site

And if you search for Nest Protect....... wolseley.co.uk/product/nest-protect-battery-smoke-detector-and-co-alarm/CatalogSearchResultMobileView?storeId=10203&catalogId=12001&resultCatEntryType=2&uid=0.19409567936307337&searchTerm=Nest+protect It shows two vastly different prices for the same thing!??

If you check the website now it only list the one version of the Nest Protect, which is the second generation. Let’s be honest no one would have the first generation after this length of time

There seems to be some confusion on that thread. I believe they are 1st Gen as they are advertising 2nd Gen for £108.99 each. No one seems to want to check.

You can buy 3 for £226 at Wolseley using the 10% off code "welcome".

Yes. The Nest thermo talks to the boiler wirelessly and this talks to the Nest thermo. It’s just a case of detecting carbon monoxide, sending a wireless notification to the thermo, which switches the boiler off. Bear in mind all devices are on the same network at this point.

Hi, these appear to be cheaper on a more recent post Nest Protect (Both battery and wired versions available) at Wolseley for £75.59 (use code WELCOME) Definitely 2nd gen units (according to the description)

Absolutely spot on! Everyone just needs to vote on whether its a good deal for the particular item, there are better places to get views, reviews and opinions. The car example is a perfect one, as somebody who just wants a functional car that gets me from A to B I'd vote pretty much every car deal cold if I thought the same way as the people criticising this deal.

Would you be kind enough to explain how I could disable my combi boiler using Hive Thermostat with Nest Protect if carbon monoxide is detected? Thanks

That all depends on the boiler make, in the case of my Intergas the gas valve is removed to access the heat exchanger cover that’s then removed and cleaned out, also clean out the condenser trap. Once put back together with the sealed cover a reading is taken from the flue at low and high power accessed through the service menu, these reading then prove the boiler is burning correctly and safely with no leaks.

Looks like 1970's chic. Sorry, can't vote hot (embarrassed)

re-list it for 3.50 and made of MDF, it''l probably go red hot!

vote hot for description : real timber and made in England (y) , thanks OP

Wow didn’t know they still made it, worth a lot second hand

Furniture which will last a lifetime. I've still got a folding dining table by Ercol which my mother bought in 1978 and it looks as good today as new.

Expired I think

The Building regs Part L have been amended today 6th April covering any new or replacement boiler. You now need to fit Time and temperature control and you must also choose one of the following to implement: Weather compensation, Load compensation, Flue Gas Heat Recovery or Smart controls. A Nest connected to an Open Therm compatible boiler covers 3 of those in 1 device

I'm getting our old 20 year old boiler removed buy a builder in a few weeks and getting a new boiler fitted in a new location (whites room), I do not have a thermostat and have a 7 day programmable timer (radiators have valves on them marked 1 - 5 for temperature), what setup would people recommend, as I am best buying all the compatible kit now as it is being renewed and installed?

I wouldn’t class Hive as smart heating anyway as it’s only an on/off device

Maybe, but to be honest I can't complain. I got my Nest for a silly price. It'll do for now. I believe the Hive also has a boost function.

Used to be available for £89.99 but £99 seems the norm now.

Cold, maplin sells it for £87.20, on eBay 20% sale this detector was sold for £83.20

Thanks I got some

you can say that again

£99 on Amazon as well and has been for a while. This isn't a deal.

I don’t pay any subscription costs!?

Maybe you want to mention the hidden subscription costs for geofencing hm? Seems tado are not too proud of it so they try to hide it as much as possible.

Nice to see that these 'designer' nonsense 'smart' heating control manufacturers are finally coming round to the wireless zoning concept pioneered by Honeywll Evohome several years ago, eh?

No it won't tell Nest to start the boiler. It will just regulate the heat in the radiator while nest tells the boiler to run. Might be able to use or create an applet on IFTTT to make it work with a smart thermostat other than the tado thermostat.

my bad Edited.

£209.99 now

I bought a stand from eBay. Some guy was selling them made out of metal. Very sturdy and I think there was a copper option as well.

Never really understood the appeal of Nest when you can opt for complete control with Evohome.

I'm in the market for a Copper Nest, and this is a good enough deal for the moment, but that Nest stand looks absolute turd for £35!! Reviews of the stand don't seem too favourable , either. Strange one from Nest... You'd think they'd be all over it, trying to push matching, premium looking accessories to Nest buyers (considering their design heritage). Instead, it's just a chunk of white plastic.

Thanks for this ordered last night for collection today, somehow managed to select the stainless steel version instead of the white one for click and collect. Have to go back tomorrow as it has to be ordered in! They gave me the stand at least :D

Looks like quite a dirty solution. It that case, why just not add Tado Thermostat (to control the boiler directly) for approximately £95-100 and have a clean setup?

I beg to to differ. Like I said they can be connected via 3rd party such as IFTTT. I know for fact that smart TRVs like Tado, Energinie etc. Can via IFTTT request the nest thermostat to call for heat.

No, as Tado TRV would not be able to request heat from Nest. I know what they are, as I have full Tado setup.

I highly rate Tado over Hive or Nest. It's more suited to larger homes tho, we have Tado TRVs in every room and have saved £££s by only heating the rooms that need it at certain times of the day; bedrooms at night, kitchen & breakfast room in morning, games room, living room, dining room in evening etc. The TRVs also report the Humidity which is handy in the bathrooms - using IFTTT you could trigger an extractor fan to come on for example rather than run it constantly with a light switch.

It's not the same thing. These are TRVs ,using them would give you zone control. As for working with Nest or Hive, you just like the 2 "eco systems" like you would with most other IoT systems.

They’ve also got a special offer for this and the stand for £192.98

more likely price. It can occasionally be had for £158ish, the last few months have seen some twin packs on ebay go for just over £200, and if you keep an eye out you can usually get a new and sealed 3rd gen for £150ish on there.

Yeah I know, was hoping it was something more quantifiable...

Because a lot of people base their voting on their own perceived view or a review of a product rather than whether or not the deal is actually good or not.

why cold? No thermostat jokes please ;)
