Painful Thanks, Mick Weird stuff happening my nest devices. I can't seem to open the nest app on home WiFi on my phone or tablet. If I switch to mobile data I can open the app but it says my thermostat is offline. Rebooted the stat from the device but still says it's offline within the app. Nest hello and camera still working fine via app

john4321 wrote: » One benefit of the smart trv is being able to use IFTTT to set a trigger so for example the temperature in the room drops below 16 degrees then set the nest thermostat to 19 to turn on the heating.

There doesn't seem to be any standalone TRV that are getting good reviews, the tado ones seem to work but I don't fancy the outlay in getting them up and running as I already have 2 Nests. Maybe in the long run I'm better off moving away from Nest.

I don't need humidity or air quality monitoring. At this stage I just want them to work I'm about to repurpose the batteries in them at this point.

At this stage I just want them to work I'm about to repurpose the batteries in them at this point. I think it is very overpriced for what it is. $50 for just a temperature sensor! There is about $4 worth of components in it. I've got Xiamoi and Samsung motion sensors that also include temperature and cost like $8 retail. I know Nest stuff is generally premium priced, but I do think it is a bit much and agree with the article. It should either have a lot more sensors (presence, humidity, etc.) for $50 or just charge $20 for what it is.

I'd consider that two. I think I've read it's one nest per heat link so may be a non runner
