smart / internet Thermostats?

[Scott_D]

Whats everyone's preference for smart thermostats / internet thermostats?

Nest, Hive, Tado, Honeywell or other

I have not fitted any yet, got a new boiler to fit and they want one

Fitted Nest, seems okay but not something I would have in my house.

I'm just about to have an iT500 fitted in my house. I'll report back.

I've fitted quite a few IT500s seem very popular in their simplicity

I have fitted Heatmiser neostats, Honeywell, nest and I have the Salus it500 in my house.

It depends on what you want from a control point if Veiw. The Honeywell is very good, you can use there thermostatic valve heads and control each room. The hot water control can control temperature. ( why you would feel the need to alter that!) it's very intuitive, has a nice controller, but is expensive.
The neostats are very neat. They ate very good at long distances between the stat and router, as they can link between thermostats. They can control up to 32 zones and have a separate hot water timer. The app is in my view the easiest to operate.
Te nest is quite simple in operation. But as my brother designed the software for these. I have a great suspicion of there snooping of your habits. They were designed for the American market originally to try and predict electricity demand. I find they can under, or overheat on a warm day following a cold day.
The Salus it500 is again easy to use and set up. It has hot water timing on the one unit. The app is not as good as Heatmiser, but still good. For the price you can't beat it.

Summing up, they are all reliable theses days. Customers like the techie bit and they are easy to use. But. Tbh in the two years I have had mine I've used my phone to switch it on remotely 4 times! One of them was because I couldn't be bothered to walk 6ft to the stat?

The Worcester Wave is far superior. It is a weather and load compensator too, modulation the boiler to save bills and can time the hot water cylinder or combi preheat.

All the others can do is switch the heating on and off, a long range wireless room stat if you like.

The downside is it can only do one heating zone.

Ray - Does the iT500 from you at £114.95 come with all bits needed or is the receiver etc separate?

 

[Roger Welton]

Has anyone tried the Honeywell voice activated thermostat yet?

 

[Linkyplumb]

Nest for me

That's all included Scott. The only addition you might need is the it300 if you want a second zone

Randal 103 for me.

Call me old fashioned but I want to decide when my heating comes on and at what temp not let the stat decided for me .
