Re: [LUG] Nest/Hive thermostats.

Yes.Â

Programmable thermostats allow different temps at different times and on different days, which is something TRVs cannot offer (at least yet, but no doubt somebody will invent programmable TRVs, such is the wondrous variety of technology).

I favour a 7 day thermostat myself, with 4-6 time zones, each of which sets a different temperature. My weekend needs are quite different to my weekday.Â

Good afternoon all,

Looking to get an intelligent thermostat to replace my current programmer/thermostat combination, I need it to do heating as well as hot water. 90% convinced I will go for the Nest gen3, but wondered if anyone has any experience with the Nest, Hive or any of the others on the market. I'm running a Pi2 with openHAB and Arduino/mysensors remote sensors to get thermal data from various points in the house, so linking in with that eventually would be important (at the moment, I think its just the Nest that has openHAB support). Â

Thanks in advance

Nick

Do these thermostats make much sense unless you live in a studio flat? I would have thought that controllable radiator valves would allow more flexibility. I think openHAB supports some of the wireless valves available now.
