Newb Nest & Automation Questions

    Hi All,

    Just gone sale agreed on a house so I'm looking into how to automate the heating given there appears to be three of those old school pin-based timers in the kitchen as opposed to a digital display.

    I've been in a friends place a few times, he uses a nest and the house has always been a nice temperature, never cold. Given the house I'm going into is 3 storeys I'd really like to have a similar setup.

    Are they difficult to install? I believe if I go with electric Ireland then you can purchase a nest through them which they'll install. That should cover two zones, I could then buy a nest myself and look to install when I have the electric Ireland engineer onsite so that all 3 zones are covered I'm thinking.

    I'm going with Yeelight for bulbs - I've two ordered plus 2m strip lighting which is extendable, I'll test them out before moving in and play around with them a bit.

    All that said - if there's any recommendations I'd appreciate them
