    https://shop.netatmo.com/eur_en/thermostat-promo.html

    Use promo code PROMO99 at the checkout for discount to be applied. Normal price from Netatmo directly is €179.

    One caveat is that this version on sale is NOT Apple Homekit compatible. It works fine using iPhone and Android apps.

    Anyone know what the Netatmo is like compared to the Tado, Climote and Nest etc.?

    if you are looking for multiple zones, or you want to control hot water, this isn't for you.

    But, if you have, say, a combi boiler (or don't care about warming up the water) and are OK with a single zone, it's ace.

    If your home was built before 2006 and you live in Cork or Dublin, this is a better deal:
    https://www.energia.ie/energy-services/free-netatmo-with-every-gas-boiler-service-%E2%82%AC79

    Boiler service + Netatmo + installation for €85. You don't have to be with Energia to get it.

    We got this done last year - our apartment didn't have a thermostat so we no longer have to go in the hot press to boost the heating on - and have found it great. I can even turn on the heating using my Pebble smartwatch :)

    Do you know if the Thermostat that Energia supply with this deal is the version that supports Apple Homekit?

    Considering it was only released at the start of the month, I wouldn't bet on it, if they still have old stock.
    Presumably the OP's deal was Netatmo using up the old stock in their own warehouse.

    Definitely using up old stock. The email expressly said "Discontinued Items" and "Thermostats not compatible with Apple Homekit.". However, they still work from apps.
    I believe Homekit compatibility requires the use of another, or different, chipset.

    Surprised to hear not working now, offer supposed to be valid until October 15th.

    Any difference between the previous model and the one with the homekit support, apart from that? I've been using the previous model that we got as part of the Energia deal and it's great, but will soon be looking for a second.

    Sorry for the confusion folks, figured it out!

    Use the following link to get the deal:
    https://shop.netatmo.com/eur_en/thermostat-promo.html

    "PROMO99" should then work.

    I see the 'normal' shop link on Netatmo homepage leads to the Homekit compatible version. The one in the above link clearly is not compatible, so moving old stock for sure.

    I like the look of their new radiator thermostats, they need the thermostat itself though to work.

    In my house, when I turn on the heating then all the rads come on together. With this, can I turn it on and off with my phone?

    Cheers

    Looking at the install video for the netatmo it seems to be different to the tado and nest as you seem to have to connect it to the actual boiler instead of replacing your existing thermostat.

    Don't think that will work for me as I already have 3 zones and a timer control system with thermostats so hooking in the netatmo seems to only work if you have one zone...

    Yes. The "proper" way to use this is to set up what temp you want your house to be every day using the app or website. It will kick in when the temperature goes below a certain level, until it warms up to the temp you've set. Equally, though, can just flick the heat on using your phone if you're a bit chilly on the way home and want to hug the radiators :)

    With our setup we set the existing thermostat to max and replaced the analogue timer connected to the boiler with the base station. You can then move the Netatmo thermostat around wherever you want. Only one zone though.

    A Noob Q as I can't quite follow faq. I have an existing wired ON/Off immersion style switch attached to boiler.

    Can I replace this with the relay and place Netatmo thermostat somewhere else in house? Tks.

    Already answered I believe!

    Similar to what we had. That gets replaced by the base unit and you can put or move around the new thermostat wherever you want throughout the day.

    Netatmo is completely standalone, no yearly charge, etc.

    And BTW it can also be physically controlled on the device itself, just in case your internet connection is down. Very important IMO.

    I bought one of these a while back, here's my take on it.

    Edit, I have a Netatmo weather station as well.
    Pic below is a sample of the types of stats it can generate.

    They have an open API with all data extractable, so you could probably calculate it yourself.

    Does the weather station influence the thermostat at all ? e.g. if you have your heat timed to come on at 7pm and it's been raining or an unseasonably warmer cold day, it'll come on earlier or later?

    If you have it in auto mode it takes the weather station data until account when calculating how long it will take to heat your house. It will turn the heating on earlier if needed so that the house is at the desired temperature at the time you've set.

    That's brilliant. Thanks. I've been looking at thermostats for a while and couldn't make up my mind which to go for.

    Quick (possibly silly) question: You mention if you don't care about the hot water, my boiler heats the hot water whenever it is on. Does the Nest for example have features that controls that also that the netamato wouldn't? Can the nest also control zones, i.e heat upstairs and not downstairs or does it depend on your radiator setup?

    Great deal link by the way, very interested!
