    Nest thermostat?

    Apple-influenced, B&O style. I want one (or two). Hope they'll be interfaced through Beonet or MLGW.

    Re: Nest thermostat?

    I like it, but I'm surprised that the concept is so limited - especially being the product of ex-Apple guys. The concept is actually fantastic, that it learns your behavior and reduces your interaction by anticipating where you'd like the set-point to be. Just think if Apple got this idea in its teeth. The concept would be applied to light & daylight as well by interpreting ambient conditions and other input behavior and synthesizing predictive user patterns. Pretty soon we'd barely have to interact with our homes. 

    Until then I'll stick with my RA2 system. You really don't touch the thermostat that often anyways.

    Quite like it... But since my apartment has a geothermal heating and cooling system, I don't have the need for it.

    I have the Bayweb thermostat and love it. Not as cool looking as the nest, but excellent functionality. When we were broken into recently, the first notification came from our thermostat!

    hmmm maybe not influenced Laughing

    First B&O (1976) was a Beogram 1500 ... latest (2011) change has been to couple the BL11 with the BL6Ks *sounds superb*
