Review: Quite simply incredible. - For the 3-4 years since I had it installed, I struggled with a really rubbish Thermostat that came with my new combi boiler. For all intents and purposes it looked pretty good on paper; it connected wirelessly, was battery powered so could be placed pretty much anywhere in my house and allowed me to control and schedule the heating. What was there not to like? Well, its battery life was awful for starters - it was beginning to hammer through a set of two AA batteries to the point where a fresh set were lasting less than a month. After replacing its batteries, the process of getting the thermostat to 'talk' to the receiver next to the boiler was repetitive and tedious and often didn't work. The worst issue was simply when trying to set the temperature; I'd turn the dial, push it to select the temperature and it would often just sit blinking at me and do nothing at all, which was really frustrating! In the end, enough was enough and I decided to look at getting a better thermostat to replace that clunky piece of trash and, being a bit of a gadget nut, I started looking at the new wave of apparently 'smart' thermostats that had recently appeared on the market. It ultimately come down to the Nest and British Gas's own 'Hive' as they both received very favourable reviews - but my mind was more or less made up for me when, during the last desertcart 'Prime Day' event, they'd slashed a massive amount from the cost of the 'Nest', so I took the plunge and bought one! >>>>>>WHAT'S IN THE BOX? In the very smart packaging for the Nest, you'll find the main gadget itself nestled at the top, and beneath that you'll find a set of instructions, a power adapter & cable, a controller ring, the 'heat link' receiver, wall-mounting plate and four screws. >>>>>>STAND AND DELIVER! One thing that wasn't made clear with the Nest when I bought it, is that if you want it to be 'portable' throughout your house, you'll need to get the stand for it. Of course, you can opt to have it wall-mounted if you desire, but I much preferred the thought of being able to put it on a shelf or a cable or something along those lines. The stand, of course, does add a bit more to the cost - and I'll do a separate review of it after I've finished this one. >>>>>>FIRST IMPRESSIONS? Once I'd received the stand for my Nest, I followed the instructions on how to attach it to the stand and by the time it was all connected together, I couldn't help but marvel at its awesomeness. The actual gadget is GORGEOUS - it's all brushed aluminium and thick glass and just exudes quality, as you might expect. It's pretty heavy too, which again (for me, at least) is a good gauge on the quality of it. Despite the fact that the 'heat link' wasn't connected to my boiler at this point., I decided to power up the Nest and have a play with it - and it was a good thing I did because, as is usual with new internet-connected devices, it required some registration and setting up. I registered it with my email account, set a password, entered my location details, set a location where the actual device was going to sit in my house and several other things and eventually came to the point where it started looking for the heat link - which it obviously wasn't going to find. >>>>>>CHECK YOUR BOILER! Not long after I ordered it from desertcart, one of the first things I did was that I got in touch with Vokera, the manufacturer of my combi-boiler to check that it was compatible with the Nest. Thankfully, they came back quickly with an email telling me that it should work fine, so I set about searching the web for hints and tips on how to connect the Nest to it. >>>>>>IF YOU'RE UNSURE, GET IT INSTALLED BY A PRO Now's a good time to say that I'm not en electrician, so while I'm happy with wiring plugs and mending wires, I'm not super-confident at doing more complex things - and doubly so when it came to the prospect of opening my combi-boiler and tinkering about with its innards. I procrastinated for a while but eventually decided that I should leave it to a professional, so set about the usual task of getting quotes from tradesmen. I'll save you the story of woe that invariably involved me being let down by the first company I chose (directly from the Nest website's list of recommended installers, no less) but I did strike gold on the second one and finally got it installed last week. If you're in or around West Lothian, I can highly recommend Edwards Electricals - they're a Nest Pro-Certified installer and did a grand job for a good price. The rule of thumb I would use here is that if you have any doubt in your abilities to install the Nest, get someone who knows what they're doing to install it. I'm glad I did! >>>>>>HOW EASY IS IT TO USE? Once your Nest Pro Installer has set your Nest and the heat link up, this thing is ridiculously simple to use. In basic terms, all you need to do is set the temperature and it will do the rest - the outer rim of the Nest acts as a big dial and you push it in to select things, but most of the time you simply need to rotate it left or right to select your desired temperature and leave it to it. >>>>>>A RIGHT SMARTY-PANTS Of course, with the Nest being a 'Smart' device it is able to detect when you're in the house or out of it by using a combination of the infra-red beam on the front of it to detect when you (or your house's other inhabitants) walk past it and, once you have set up the Nest app on your Smartphone(s), it will be able to also detect when it/they are close-by, so over the course of time it will be able to build a pattern of when people are in the house or not. The beauty of this is that when it thinks nobody's in, it will go into 'eco' mode and keep the house at a user-definable low threshold temperature, which should end up saving you money over the long term. Very smart indeed! And of course, once it detects movement or the proximity of your phone, it will switch to normal heating mode and warm the house up. You can of course set it to keep the house at a steady temperature or set it to turn on and off at scheduled times of the day and night - it's totally up to you. Another cool 'learning' feature it has is that it will learn how quickly your radiators are able to heat your house up and will then be able to tell you how long it is going to take until your house reaches a selected temperature. It's all very clever. Since it is an internet-connected device, it can also be controlled by smartphone apps and even from the Nest website, so it's possible to monitor what temperature you house is when you're out of it and even turn it on if you think it's too cold. This opens up the possibility of you being able to turn the heating on while you're on the way home from work, so you arrive to a nice, cosy house. In addition to that, the Nest can also be controlled by other home automation devices - I bought an desertcart Echo Dot and once I'd added the Nest 'Skill' to it, I'm able to instruct Alexa to turn the heating to a desired temperature by saying 'Alexa, set the heating to twenty four degrees'. Cool, huh? >>>>>>THE GOLDILOCKS EFFECT With that clunky old thermostat, the temperature in the house fluctuated too much into the 'too warm' territory and, once it hard instructed the heating to turn off, it strayed too far into the 'too cold' one before telling it to turn on again. Since the Nest has been installed, we've noticed that the house is staying at a much, much more consistent temperature as it is much more intelligent in the way that it controls the heating. >>>>>>SUMMING UP Wow, I am super impressed with this thing. Not only is it a beautifully tactile piece of kit, it's also brilliantly clever and simple to use. There are no doubt other features that I've not covered in this review (heck, I've only been using it for a week) but for all intents and purposes, it's so smart that you only need to tell it what to do and it really does the rest for you. The fact that it can be controlled by smartphones, computers and even Alexa as well as the device itself makes it incredibly convenient, too.
Review: Small, smart, easy to use, works as it should and saves you money. - I really like this 3rd generation of thermostat. We used professional installers (booked through the Nest website). The product itself appears to have a relatively straightforward installation process. We have a conventional boiler (with a hot water tank) and the installation required a widget to be attached to the hot water tank connection and then the thermostat was installed in place of our old one in the hallway. The thermostat is actually much smaller than I anticipated being only 85mm wide (note the description here states it's 85cm!) and so had a smaller footprint than my old thermostat so I had to paint that area again! The controls are straightforward enough on the thermostat itself but it's actually much easier to use the smartphone app. It's all fairly intuitive. Feature-wise we've found the learning element to be quite accurate with only 2 glitches where we found ourselves nice and toasty at 2am! It does, however, have a traditional programmer so that you can set a loose schedule that will guide it through the process of learning your habits or if you are a complete control freak you can just set it all yourself with no learning at all. Do note that the temperate you set on the thermostat is based on the principle of that being being your target temperature. So if you set the heating to be 18 degrees at 6am, the thermostat will learn how long it takes to heat your house to that temperature and switch itself on BEFORE that so that it's at the specified temperature at the time you require. This does mean that if your house is hard to heat that the heating may be on a while. The net result for us was that in the first few weeks the heating was constantly on trying to get us to 21 degrees or thereabouts. By lowering by 0.5 degree (which you CAN do!) we were able to reduce the amount of time the heating was on and cut our bill as a result. This degree of fine control is great. The water function is fairly standard and matches the heating aspect. Other features we've leveraged and found working well are being able to control the heating when we're not home by using smart phone apps we've linked this up to our Hue systems etc. so that the house lights come on and the heating starts when it detects we're getting closer to home. The thermostat kind of does this itself but other apps allow for more control. Overall, it's a great leap forward and I'm very happy with the product. It has inclined me to want to look at their other products which should say it all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I have zoned underfloor heating. 4 zones in total. Would it be worth replacing just the thermostat in my lounge with a nest?**
A: We have a similar set-up - zoned underfloor heating downstairs & radiators upstairs. We looked at Nest & Hive but neither system could cope with this many zones. We have just had a Honeywell Evohome system installed. This can handle up to 12 zones, and are very happy with it so far. It even has wireless controlled TRVs available if we find we need them.

**Q: My heating runs off a time clock and I have thermostats on every radiator. Is this device of use to me?**
A: Hi, I have a similar set up to you and have just installed Nest. It was a fairly straightforward process (you do need to be competent in DIY, and have an understanding of electrical wiring), and works perfectly for us. The Nest thermostat is located in the hall and switches the central heating on when the temperature falls below that set on the Nest unit - you can control the temperature in individual rooms using the radiator thermostats as previously.  This is a UK installation and allows control of the hot water heating too.  Hope that helps.

**Q: Can it be controlled from 2 or more phones? I don’t want something that eg turns off because my husband has left the house, but I’m still at home.**
A: Yes it can be controlled by both your phones, it won't turn off when your husband leaves the house if it still senses movement in house. It learns when people are regularly in or out.

**Q: Where should I put my thermostat**
A: You should put the thermostat in a room that is not excessively affected by heat gains from other sources e.g hot appliances or the sun shining through windows.  Traditionally is would go in a hallway as that gets cooler with opening of doors etc.  Additionally, the room where the thermostat is located should not have a TRV fitted else it should be set to maximum ( and locking covers are available to stop people tampering) in order to prevent instability in control.   TRV’s are there to prevent overheating in rooms where solar gain is present e.g. south facing rooms or where other heat gains may be present.   I’m not a supporter of electronic TRV’s like the TADO as they can only control rooms independently if the interconnecting doors are closed and draught proofed, quite unlikely.  Otherwise you will have draught sand feel colder.  Better to have a properly located main thermostat controlling the boiler and TRV’s on rooms that may overheat.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nest Learning Thremostat, 3rd Generation fitted to Powermax 185 Boiler
*by C***C on 1 November 2016*

Nest is one of those rare products that is impeccable in its design, functionality, quality and ease of use. All things considered, it is also extremely good value for money as well. However, like me, you will might only realise that once you have started using Nest. The positive experience of Nest actually starts on unpacking the product, the quality of the product is evident in every detail. Even the screws for attaching the product to the wall have a certain quality about them which just is not there in a normal screw. Prior to installing Nest, for years my house has been either too hot or too cold and rarely at just the right temperature. Now, less than two days after installation, with Nest, I can accurately control the temperature inside my house so that it feels comfortable all the time. I have no hesitation in recommending Nest as a new or replacement thermostat / timer. It has certainly given my old boiler a new lease of life, which in its last life was simply controlled by a programmable clock and the thermostatic valves on the radiators. For those interested, the boiler which I fitted Nest to, is the IMI / Range / Baxi / Potterton - Powermax 185 (yes, the boiler was sold and sold again from company to company like a hot potato!). This type of boiler has a chequered history due to a lack of knowledge amongst most heating engineers on the correct maintenance and repair but despite that, like Nest, I consider it to be a design classic!! If Nest can fit this old boiler and give it a new lease of life, then it will probably fit any boiler out there. But do your own research and check the compatibility for yourself. if you are not confident to fit Nest yourself then it is worthwhile getting a Nest installation professional to fit it for you. The installation process took me approximately 2 hours. I prepared well by having my boiler installation manual to hand as well as lengths of power cable and a variety of tools such as a cable stripper, drill, tape measure, electrical screwdriver, pencil etc. I also watched a few YouTube videos on how to install. One important safety point to remember is to switch off the bolier and isolate it from the mains during installation. Following installation, I can see, at a glance, the actual temperature inside the house and also when the boiler is due to be triggered to run and when it is not. When I walk past Nest, the built-in motion sensor wakens so that Nest displays the actual temperature and the temperature that the boiler has been set to come on at. This allows Nest to be setup and adjusted very accurately for each individuals requirements. Adjustment is made by either making adjustments on the Nest display itself or by using the Nest App on your phone. I have setup Nest to operate to a pre-determined schedule because I have a pretty standard routine, however, Nest has been designed to learn your home life patters and adjusts to suit and save energy when you are out. You will need to research this a bit yourself to decide if you want to simply set a schedule or let nest learn and react to your movements. When I am away from the house, I can check the Nest App on my phone to see how much the temperature is dropping throughout the day when the house is empty and Nest has been set to a low temperature, so as not to switch the boiler on unnecessarily. In my case this confirmed that the installation of the loft insulation which was upgraded a few years ago was actually worthwhile! There being a minimal drop in temperature throughout the day. In its history file, Nest stores the boiler's operation details which allows me to check how long the boiler has had to run for each day to maintain the desired temperatures throughout the day and night. This will prove to be helpful in adjusting the Nest settings so as to be as energy efficient as possible or for monitoring the benefits of other energy saving upgrades such as the installation of upgraded windows or loft insulation etc. On researching the possibilities of Nest further, it is apparent that the integration of Nest with other household products will limited only by the ingenuity of Nest's designers (which is obviously there in abundance) and the ingenuity and foresight of designers of other products. It was a pleasant surprise to find that Nest was already able to seamlessly integrate with my Logitech Ultimate remote control. As soon as I realised that this was a possibility, it was done using the Nest App on my phone. I would have never thought that a mere thermostat could be such a joy to use and into the bargain actually provide the very precise boiler control which is necessary to make the living environment as comfortable as possible. With Nest, the days of turning thermostats up and down to control the temperature or adjusting difficult to set time settings on wall mounted programmers are gone. Nest is an absolute pleasure to use and helps us to create a very comfortable living environment, which can only be a good thing. There are not many products on the market that I would take the time to review as most are here today and gone tomorrow. However, Nest is one of those products that stands out and I have no doubt will be here to stay for a very long time. Nest has clearly been designed and brought to market by skilled and enthusiastic designers and others with a vision who are passionate and determined in their efforts. Nest has created a product which can actually help to improve our everyday lives in more ways than you could ever imagine that a thermostat could. I did my research before purchasing and watched a few YouTube videos on the installation but I still felt uncertain about it whether Nest would work with my boiler. Having now bought, installed and used Nest, I would say its a no-brainer! I hope that this review helps a few people in their research prior to making their purchase.
