Nest Labs, Inc. architect of the thoughtful
home, brings the 3rd generation Nest Learning
Thermostat to the UK, France, Netherlands,
Belgium and Republic of Ireland. In addition to its
new design, the 3rd generation Nest Thermostat
offers improved boiler support that now
delivers remote hot water control and advanced
compatibility with OpenTherm heating systems.
New design features include a slimmer profile,
a high-resolution screen that’s 40 percent larger
and an updated user interface that makes it easier
to read temperatures, alerts and messages. And
Farsight, a new software feature, automatically
displays the target temperature or time when
movement is sensed across the room
“Millions of Nest homes around theworld have saved
approximately four billion kilowatt hours of energy
compared to what they would have used if they’d
left their thermostats at a consistent temperature.
And today, with brand new software and hardware,
our European customers can save even more
whilst staying comfortable, thanks to remote hot
water control and OpenTherm compatibility,” said
Lionel Paillet, General Manager of Europe for Nest.
“And we are continuing to expand our presence in
Europe – the 3rd generation Nest Thermostat will
be available through thousands of retail locations,
professional distributors, and directly through Nest
Pro installers, and at a discount or at no cost at all
through energy partners.”
The 3rd generation Nest Thermostat learns the
temperature you like, then programs itself. It
knows how long it takes to heat your home so
you’re comfortable when you get there. When you
leave, it automatically turns down your boiler and
hot water tank so you save energy.
