There are programmable thermostats, and then there’s Nest.
Nest is a thermostat from the guys who brought us the first iPod and iPhone, so it’s so easy a 10-year-old can use it.
It’s running a bit of software and connects to the Internet using your home’s WiFi web connection. This combination is what makes it a success.
The unit automatically learns your preferred temperatures, creating its own schedule on-the-fly. A built-in motion sensor also works to adjust for the times you’re away from your home, putting your home’s heating/air conditioning system in customizable power-saving mode.
You can also adjust the Nest’s settings remotely using the app on your iPhone or iPad – and by using their website. Coming home from the cottage, flick the air conditioning on from the car (passenger seat of course).
After everything’s said and done, this should save you some money on your home energy bills. And program itself automatically – something most people fail to do in the first place.
Love our Nest. Waited awhile till it was available in Canada. It is very easy to use and control via the app. I love how it senses when you re not at home and goes into away mode. This unit has probably saved us 25% to 30% in electricity since the beginning of the summer.
Harold, where did you pick one up? I’ve tried ordering online and they won’t ship to Canada. Where can I buy one in Canada?
The Nest is available to Canadians directly from the Nest store, that’s where I got it. It is also shipped from Canada so there is no duty. Try again you will see that they do sell to Canadians directly from their site. I almost want to give my current unit to a family member to get the redesigned model!
Perfect. Thx Harold!!
