Nest Thermostat Steps Into Europe

  • PDF

Nest announces the availability of an updated version of the popular "learning thermostat" in the UK as part of "aggressive" expansion into the rest of the European continent.

NestThe Nest has been available in N. American territories since 2011, but European release has been delayed by heating standard differences. Thus the UK Nest package includes an extra component-- the Heat Link, a wireless water boiler controller able to account for the residual heat effects, switching the boiler off before it actually reaches desired temperatures.

According to the company both hardware and software are tweaked for the European market, but still include the familiar single UI, app-based control, "smart" learning capabilities and end-of-month energy reports.

The Nest is available in the UK now, with further Europe-related announcements to follow on a later date.
