What is the best smart thermostat? What you should know before choosing which is best for you!

[@christophermackin147]

Awesome job guys. I bought a ten year old villa with a high end heat pump, underfloor heating, multi zones, and numerous units. The thermostats are stupid complicated to change and program. Ten year old tech is terrible and the instructors make me beat my head on the wall. Too bad you can’t come to Italy and redo my entire system because it’s impossible to get a plumber here. I’ve been waiting for six months with no end in sight. Absolutely crazy. Happy I found your channel as I will have to do this myself. Keep up the great work! Cheers

Have the wired T6 start for two years now. Solid, easy to install and use, works well with google voice control. Geofencing works well as long as you smart phone is not battery managed much. Has opentherm so ready for current energy efficient boilers.

Im replacing my boiler to probably worcester bosch 4000 is it better to get a nest or to get the Worcester bosch thermostat and why?

[@jamie-theheatingguy4870]

I would recommend the Worcester Bosch controller as it talks the right language for being as efficient as possible. The nest will not communicate as well as the Worcester controller 😊

Thanks for this info - very helpful I am trying to decide which thermostat would be best for an ideal vogue max 32 combi Looking at the Ideal Halo and the Nest - which one (or any other) would you recommend please?

[@rayc1503]

Lyric T6R is so easy to explain to customers. I've fitted plenty of the Esi Rf controls as well as the combipack4. I prefer the Nest over the hive. I find the manufacturers specific controls work best communicating with the controls. Some of my elder clients prefer the simplist of controls. So it has to be the Honeywell T4rf or the salus 510+rf.

Hi there, it's halo thermostat good for ideal vogue max combi 26?

[@ionsprinceana5048]

Hi Jamie. I have a question for you, hope that you can help me. I want to install a Ideal Vogue boiler in to my house and i'm really confuse, can i buy one of this thermostats, are they comply with boiler+ or i need to buy one from ideal and extra weather sensor for them to work as the should? Thank you. Really great video 👍👍

[@garrynutter860]

Good question, Hope Jamy answers this

[@Hydroheat]

Hi Ion, I'm very sorry for the delay I don't seem to have notifications set up for some reason, so I'm only just seeing this now. You can indeed buy one of these thermostats, they all comply with boiler plus. You don't need to purchase ideals thermostats to comply. Hope that helps

Hi Jamie, I have a new Dunkirk DCB-125 here in the U.S. and it appears to have the same software as the Baxi boiler. I’m thinking Dunkirk used their open therm logic but they won’t recommend any thermostat to communicate with it. They said they had a soft rollout that they had problems with. What are your thoughts? Thanks, Dan F New York

I have a communal heating system and want to change the room thermostat. Currently have a salus r500 and I’m hoping to upgrade to a more modern programmable room thermostat but confused by what is out there. Any sugge#tions?

[@UrbanPlumbers]

'there is not too many buttons' then opens up the stat flap and show 10 buttons - :)

[@Hydroheat]

Haha... Fair point... Not too many buttons that are confusing and meaningless. 😆

[@UrbanPlumbers]

@@Hydroheat It made me chuckle

[@al-azimahmed1188]

I want a smart stat that I can hardwire 1hot water and two heating zones that can be app controlled. You wouldn't beleive how hard it is to get a product recommended??? Any suggestions would be great

[@pindajatt730]

I'm in the same boat 3 years after your comment and it's still difficult

[@leefurness5623]

Hi Jamie thanks for making this, when I try to talk to suppliers and gas fitters its like they are all talking on another level. I have a new Baxi boiler 6 months old and wanted a simple control that had a button that used to be called boost. Press once and the heating will come on for an hour and switch its self off. I want my boiler off but want to physically switch it on when I feel cold. I don't mind waking up to find its cold. As you know the cost of gas is frightening so I don't want auto modes just to be able to switch it on when I want it and to know it will go off by its self as I always forget to switch it off if I have to remember. Have you any suggestions? Many thanks

[@nigelw4596]

Hi Jamie, just watched your video, I have a old glowworm boiler on a gravity fed system, am I able to run the nest smart stat, don’t have a wall stat?

[@kevinjackson8037]

The EPH links to the Ember app

[@jhansi1402]

[@marcopedro968]

Wich would be the best for a Daikin Altherma D2CND024A1A? Thanks.

[@danielgreenwood3076]

Hi Jamie, I have an older Valliant ecotec pro 28 boiler (pre v-smart technology). Which would be the best smart thermostat in your opinion? I am hoping that there is a product that would be compatible and more intelligent than a basic “on/off” thermostat (modulation). Thanks

[@mattmackenzie1111]

Vrt350f maybe a good match

[@rosstaylor4832]

Hi there I have a Baxi 836 and was hoping to get a new opentherm Stat are there any that you know works with the Baxi? Thanks in advance. Looked for your video on this but couldn't find it

[@Hydroheat]

Hi Ross, just picked this comment up now, the Nest thermostat will work great for your boiler or Baxi’s own thermostat the Usense I believe it’s called.

[@trabadabal]

Hello, thanks for the nice video! Do you know if the Honeywell T6R is compatible with Bosch condens 2300i boiler? Thank you!

[@trabadabal]

SiSirA здравей! Какъв е котела който ползваш? Значи няма как в модулиращ режим да работи изглежда.

How does nest justify £30 for a plastic stand?

Hi. I was watching this video until about 3:20. Then the story went from DIY advice to politics! You mention carbon footprint. I would like to, as an old engineer to get the facts and figures not the political indoctrination! Elvis left the building soon after...

[@jamie-theheatingguy4870]

Hi Oddmund, I’m sorry if didn’t appreciate what it is I share in the video. But from engineer to engineer, what I talk about is being more efficient at managing the heat given from a radiator to match the specific heat loss from the building thus preventing wasted heat. Please don’t get lost in the politics, this is just more about being more comfortable.

[@philiprawlinson2561]

Appreciate you taking the time to make this video Jamie, it’s helped me come to a decision. P.S. if somebody got offended by what they somehow saw as being political I think they need to get out more 🫣

[@jamie-theheatingguy4870]
