Interesting, I assumed I could simply replace existing thermostat with the Nest, but it’s possible I was looking at the US product page.
Effectively the controller is just a device that recieves power and connects wirelessly to the Heat Link then I take it?
Yes, it is.
The controller (good-looking round-thing on the wall) connects to the heat-link (standard looking square-thing mounted next to the boiler) via WiFi. The square thing connects directly to your boiler/heating source using [cough] wires. I have the first-gen Nest thermo which I replaced the usual archaic thermostat with. My boiler is a combi-boiler and so the hot water is managed by the manual thermo in the boiler and the heating is managed by the Nest. I paid £270 for the Nest thermo when it first launched in the UK in early 2014 which controls only heating (the US version controlled both heating & Air-con) - and it paid for itself in the first year. Outstanding savings. Plus analytics. Highly recommended.
I have a few Nest Protects too, which have certainly been worth it, BUT - the first gen protect has a 7-year sensor which has just popped up as expiring at the end of this year. So I’m going to have to replace these with new ones (they have a 10y lifetime) 
Despite the price, Nest is quality stuff.
Yep as above 
I have the latest 3rd gen smart learning thermostat. So it analises how you use your heating, temperatures, what days and times and so on and it adapts to be more efficient.
I just wish they did smart radiator valves too so you can control the temp in each room.
Yup - had the Nest Thermostat for about 3 years and love it. Great bit of kit.
I’m here in the dark ages with a hard wire system. (No heatlink just a hard wire that connects when heat is required) Oil fired heating eh.
It’s not even electronic so next most likley will not be possible.
Can always check here 
There are options for oil central heating, I was looking the other day at radiator values so it’s possible
I think I’m gonna have to get one of the Nest WiFi units. Although I have 500mb speeds with Virgin now, the connection is spotty in some of the rooms in my new apartment (I’ve just moved).
Anyone else have one? I’m guessing that just one unit will do, as I already have a hub going from the room where the router is into the living room. Does the Nest WiFi replace your router or append it? Ie, will both the Superhub and the Nest WiFi transmit, or will I need two Nest WiFi units?
You’ll likely still need the Superhub acting as a modem. It will have some kind of setting called “Bridge Mode” or similar which disables all of the routing functions, and leave one ethernet port active. That ethernet port will then lead to your Nest Wi-Fi unit.
One of my “I need this for WFH” purchases has been an Eero 3-pack, functionally very similar to the Nest Wi-Fi.
I know you’re thinking you’d be fine with one - I’d strongly recommend two. One router, however good it is, is rarely an appreciable difference from your ISP-supplied one.
Ah, gotcha.
I may buy one to start and then get another later on if it still needs improving.
The issue is basically that my new apartment is in an L shape.
So where the Superhub right now is, is at the end of the L (to the right) - if you imagine that the middle section of the L (the right angle) is the living room, that’s where the hublink is, and then the bedroom (top of the L) is where the signal is bad.
So just by moving the broadcast point with one Nest WiFi to the living room should theoretically improve the signal in the bedroom already.
It’s not a huge flat, so that’s why I thought two units might be overkill.
I have oil heating and use Tado with it. PM me if you have any questions but you can literally email tado a picture of your controller for the heating and they will tell you if its compatible.
Can I ask why you have oil central heating, was it by choice or already in the property?
Living rural we’re not connected to the main gas supply so we opted for LPG instead as it was much cheaper. Just want to check that I’ve not overlooked anything.
Perhaps a silly question, but does the Eero support VPNs?
My main question is why so many people are ringing his bell
I’d probably have about 11 quid by now if I did the same thing.
Dog-sense followed by Dog-alert kinda halts people from pressing the doorbell.
Someone has been having too many mates round during lockdown
Or a lot of Uber eats and amazoning 
Kerosine was in the property when we moved in. Also the stuff I read in the past it is slightly cheaper to run over LPG but that info is a bit old. There is no mains gas option here as well.
No gas mains and LPG runs alot more than oil when we tried to work it out and my dad owns this house and has not lived here in years so it’s in poor repair.
We burn wood 90% of the winter to save money and not run the oil.
Theres not even mains sewerage up here so there will never be gas.
(Gas is rare in my area due to it being rural and there being alot of mineshafts)
