We generally love Nest's products, which are very successful and particularly efficient. However, they are also quite expensive. A problem that disappears with the new model of the brand.
It is a complete image that Nest is trying to upset. Previously considered inaccessible, the brand now wants to fight against low-cost products from China with an aggressive commercial strategy. With its Thermostat E, Nest aims to reduce the purchase price by almost half.
Discover the Nest E Thermostat at a low price
It is a model that stands out above all visually thanks to its assumed discretion. All white, it hides behind a small translucent plastic shell. Above all, the Heat Link E box no longer requires a specialist for installation. In practical terms, this smart thermostat allows the thermostat and heating system to communicate together, and you can connect it directly to the wires of existing thermostats. Its battery indicates a 4-year battery life, which gives you a certain margin.
Overall, the two devices are technologically similar. However, some concessions were made. Forget about managing hot water production. On the other hand, temperature, humidity, your presence or even light are still on the agenda. So is intelligent heating management. What is the concrete difference in terms of price? Before for a Nest thermostat it was necessary to count 388 €. An invoice mainly burdened by the installation. From now on, your invoice will stop at €219. What can we convince the French? We hope so because, admittedly, only 5% of households are equipped today according to the figures available.
