Nest is 250$ USD, tado is 150$ USD.
Nest allows controlling multiple thermostats from the app, I couldn't find if tado did the same.
Thus, your conclusion that Nest is a "waste of time and money" is fruitless.
However, the geolocation support does seem quite nice. The bar has been raised once again.
- robomartin 12y agoPerhaps you misunderstood. My point is that a single thermostat can only go so far in optimizing cooling in an installation much larger than a studio apartment. A $30 programmable thermostat can probably bring you within 90% of the maximum achievable optimization for all other dwellings. And, depending on where you live, a cheap fan can quite literally bring your cooling bill from hundreds of dollars per month to $10 per month. I've done exactly that for two years as I experimented with various ideas for a renovation that is under way now.
- mikegreen 12y agoBut for $250 you only get one Nest. Thus, to have an the Nest app control multiple Nests (nestii?) you'd have to shell out $250 for each.
