A motion/temperature sensor from Monoprice: $30.
A VeraLite-G (eBay make an offer): $135.
A Z-Wave thermostat (2-gig CT100 that can display humidity on the main display): $80 (I got a couple for $62 on sale)
No dependency on Google to control your home: priceless.

- watty 13y agoAre you trying to say that those parts are equivalent to a Nest? That's like saying some wheels, an engine, 4 doors == BMW.
- joezydeco 13y agoHe's saying it's functionally equivalent. engine + 4 doors + wheels = working car. I owned a BMW once and you literally could not tinker with the car yourself. The engine was a sealed black box. Kind of like the Nest.
- vicaya 13y agoI'm saying that you can put together a better (customized) system than Nest with these parts without relying on any external services.
