    Is there currently any way to connect Climote to the Google home or are they looking at connecting them in future?

    Hi, getting a total replumb done and need to decide what smart controls to go for, we will have 2 heating zones (upstairs and downstairs) and separate hot water. Don't need anything too fancy, just to be able to turn on heating / water remotely via phone app. Any advice much appreciated, cheers!

    Personally have Nest, two zones plus water... personally I find it great. Can naturally control via app (No subscription costs), control via Alexa, you can also control via things like IFTTT stringify etc. I'd also strongly prefer the look and style of the Nest on the wall.... well built quality feel to it. I've seen some of the others and they look like a piece of plastic stuck to the wall.

    Had them for 2.5 years now and cannot fault in any way... hope it helps.

    I asked this last year and was told in November that they expected to have more news by the end of the year. That's since passed and I haven't asked again...

    I have used IFTTT to send text messages from my phone to the Climote which allows an easy way to cancel a boost or to set a boost for an hour though.

    Does anyone have this product, will it heat my water as well as 2 separate heating zones, or do I need to buy two devices?

    Thanks in advance

    You may need an additional temp sensor.
    Hard to tell, I have Hive, but I only have one zone space heating and another zone for my water.

    The multizone appears to cover you but it doesn't state whther you get additional thermostats or not.

    The multi zone pack is if you already have one

    Bought a new house. It was built around 2002. It has a thermostat downstairs and a thermostat in the main bedroom. I'm assuming this means 2 zones + heating the water? We had a nest in our previous house but only had one thermostat so this is all new to me!! Can i just get a nest or hive and use it just for one zone and the water, and leave upstairs do its own thing? Main concern is downstairs - upstairs we like it cool enough.
