My name is Jamie I'm an engineer at Hydroheat. Hopefully, by the end of this video you'll have a much better understanding about which smart thermostat is going to work best for your boiler, the problem we have is nobody online is spreading the word about which one works best with which boiler They're just saying this one's got good software, this one looks really nice, that's not really the important thing when it comes to picking a smart thermostat.

Now this video could easily be an hour-long of me talking about all of the technology and the the algorithms that they use and all this sort of stuff which most people are going to find boring, I am going to create a few more videos which go into a little bit more detail to explain you know what a modulating control is, what Opentherm is and what TPI is.

I'm going to share with you my three top thermostats that I recommend using, but I just want you to know that there are some boilers which will have smart thermostats available to them specifically, that are going to work better.

So let's start off with this thermostat here this is this is the wireless version and this is me by company called EPH control, many people think that smart thermostat is an app controlled thermostat when it's not, it's just that they have a different sort of thought process and are able to do calculations and they can remember data from previous times to be able to work out what's going to be best for efficiency in the long run.

So this is a smart thermostat control different time and temperature settings, it also has a holiday on it which means when you go on holiday you say I'm going to be back on this day at this time and when you come home you'll have a nice warm house. I definitely recommend this in terms of price point, you can pick these smart thermostats up for about 60 quid and depending on what's actually required, it's not a huge investment to be able to upgrade to a smart thermostat

These smart thermostats speak with an open language and TPI man it also has something called optimum start which means the smart thermostat will learn when it needs to come on to reach the temperature by the time set.

I wouldn't even bother trying to setup the scheduling on these smart thermostats themselves the apps are really user friendly and easy to use. so they also have a feature called geo-fencing, what that means is the thermostat will be connected to your phone and it will track where you are basically set of radius around your house and when that phone enters that that circle it will trigger on the heating because it thinks your coming home.

These smar thermostats can be connected to Alexa or Google home so you can literally say "Alexa turn the heating up by 2 degrees" and it will do it which is unreal to be honest.

Honeywell and the nest also have the products which you can connect to the same app so for example the Honeywell have smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms and leak detection sensors which you can get connected to the same apps. Nest have indoor cameras, outdoor cameras and also have a really good smart doorbell, which has a camera on the front of the doorbell and it will get sent through to you as well so there's a lot of things that you can do with a lot of functionality that you can have with the thermostat. So the question is how much are these smart thermostats? The Honeywell you can pick up for £150 - £160, which I think is a really good price for the unit in. I have to say that my personal favourite one is this nest for £210, it's more expensive because it has this sensor at the bottom so as soon as you walk by it recognises that you're there. It will light up the screen to show you what the temperature is in that room.
