Nest Deals & Offers

Me keeping my old wired thermostat on full blast is basically the same as not having one because it will never reach the full temp. There is a white box that will replace your segment timer. This box has one button on it which is a override on/off switch. The box connects to this nest thermostat and yes, basically it acts as an off switch when the heating reaches the desired temperature. It is fully programmable for on and off times for both heating and hot water. The nest guys on Facebook are fairly responsive. I had a few teething problems as the default settings work out how long it takes to get your home up to the desired, this turns your heating on before the set time so it's hot for the set time. I didn't like that so I turned that off... also if you haven't heated the hot water for over 2 hours straight in a 48 period, it pops it on for 2 hours to kill any bacteria which I turned off too.

Thanks for the reply but I don't really understand. I don't have a thermostat at all, and all the instructions I can find online reference essentially connecting into your existing thermostat in order to connect the nest. However I don't have one so I'm not sure what I would be connecting to? Based on what you're saying, thermostat is basically a clever on/off switch with some computational shenanigans going on inside. My existing segment timer is the same thing but without the smart bit. On that basis I assume the Nest somehow connects into my segment timer wiring and then adds the thermostat functionality to my system singlehandedly?

Yes. I kept my thermostat wired and just keep it on full... this cuts the heating off when it reaches the desired temp. By keeping the wired stat on full, it just acts as it's not there if that makes sense.

Folks - I managed to pick one of these up recently. My hot press currently only has a segment timer with "On/Off/Clock" settings. There is no thermostat in my house at the moment. Is this even compatible with my system? I can't seem to find an answer to this simple question anywhere - I believe (hope?) the answer is yes, it's compatible! @PAULTRD @chrisom

In my case a Worcester Bosch CDI Combi , I needed to connect 3 wires , live , neutral , & switched live from the boiler to the nest heat link . Then added a looped wire in the heat link . So my example of it being "like " wiring a plug is because of the number of connections-3 , plus my ability to read both my boiler manual & the nest manual to know where the connections go . I found it straightforward & simple

I'd rather wait, pay less and have it installed and get a full refund if it can't be installed for any reason

You may well be right, but many wouldnt even want to attempt something like this

If you have a combi with a wireless thermostat fitting the Nest yourself is extremely easy. No need to pay anyone.

£5er cheaper direct... oops.

Agreed credit when you can afford is healthy and it builds a credit rating which gets you things like a lower mortgage and better finance on a car. People like him who "save" for everything are the people who have the insanely high rate mortgages and then blame the rest of society as they have always kept to within what they believe are society's rules. So I hate it when people come on threads like this just to throw their opinions that people should just save. How about you just goto your cave and over pay for your house and cave with your backwater ideals? As unless you can save for your entire house you too need credit.

They constantly try to tempt me with these deals, first it was Samsung vr kit then the 360 camera I find it's all a bit desperate on EE's part

EE naaaaah never again

Most sensible people leverage credit when it’s appropriate, for instance when something they can afford and would like is available at 0% credit

It does talk about adding it to a plan. I think that’s clear.

Customer services are reporting back as OOS for the wired version with no ETA

Heat from me. I bought one of the BT Shop ones and fitted last night. It's great. Even the wife approved. So need to get another 2, one for the loft which has some wiring I can use, and one for the ground floor, which needs a battery one; and looks like I can get one of each and still do the discount. Thanks, OP!

That’s a great deal for a great product! Luckily I said “usually” (excited)

Well obviously I don't know what future purchasers will get, but I ordered two 3 days ago - they are due to expire in May 2028. So I lost 2 months yes, but not in proportion to the discount! :)

Usually if the price drops it’s because they are old stock, so you don’t get the full 10 years of life. Therefore the price is just a percentage. Two years old stock, pay 80%.

Now 4% Topcashback on eBay until tomorrow. Unfortunately, I missed out on this offer by just a couple of hours.

Thanks, ordered. I have a couple of small tables that have got very shabbby and rickety that need replacing. I'm gradually replacing a lot of my furniture and I really like the chunky style of these. They will be good value if they last at least a couple of years.

these look identical to ones i bought from homebase a few years back, really nice and strong and a decent size. still going strong.

Dont forget 1.05% TCB :)

But it streams over the internet to Nests own servers. In real time.

Oh I see. But even if someone did walk up the drive (and you were able to record a picture of their face) and then the cameras suddenly stop recording, that in itself wouldn't be evidence that they then burgled the house.

My point is you can have the outdoor cam recording anyone that tampers with your phone line.

Yep, same problems with them.

Or an Outdoor Nest Cam? I pay up front for Nest aware. £40 for first camera.

It has been as low as £79 on Amazon, I am waiting for price circa £70

Just bought one! Great price!! Thank you!

These 2nd gen ones were £89 when first released but seems the RRP is increasing. Hoping this will be cheaper than £83 on Prime Day

Nice deal. Bought myself 2 for my new place.

Lifetime guarantee... *joke for the pedants

That's unfortunate, the one I got from priority plumbing included the charger and cable; https://www.priorityplumbing.co.uk/nest-learning-thermostat-3rd-generation-stand-HNT3000G

No, you don't get any charger or cable with this. You get charger with the Nest thermostat itself. Just checked the box, it just contains the plastic stand, two screws and a over page instructions label.

I really hope there will be nest deals on prime day...never thought I needed one on Black Friday last year but now I’m convinced!

Don't remember seeing any for a fiver plus the quality is much worse. I have both - this is a good deal.

It's worth noting that you also get a power adapter and long USB cable with the stand... Great for charging your ps4 controller etc (y)
