Google’s Nest Thermostat V3 is perhaps the best-known smart thermostat.
Rob Coenraads and Maikel Dijkhuizen
The sleek and round design makes it popular, many people are traditionally used to a round thermostat. Plus, you can just turn the rim to set the temperature, which is intuitive. Not only can you read the temperature on the screen, but also the weather. The screen also lights up when it registers movement. The Learning Thermostat V3 is available in stainless steel, copper, black and white and is suitable for underfloor heating.
Thanks to smart functions such as motion detection and geofencing, it knows exactly when you are at home or not; In addition, it is self-learning based on your adjustments and presence. Furthermore, it works on almost any central heating boiler.
Integration with Google Assistant is of course present and it can of course also be operated via the clear and user-friendly app. The system can also be expanded with other Nest products such as smoke detectors, cameras and a smart doorbell, but there is no Nest radiator tap.
