European alternatives to Google Nest Thermostat

The Google Nest Thermostat is a connected room thermostat. It controls central heating from the wall or from a phone, follows a schedule, and can turn the temperature down when nobody is home. People buy it to cut energy use and to stop heating an empty house, and it fits into the wider Google Home system.

Heating data shows when a house is occupied and when it is empty, so it is worth keeping with a supplier under European rules. Heating systems also vary considerably from one European country to the next, which is an argument for hardware designed here. A European alternative to Google Nest Thermostat is well covered. tado° and Netatmo make connected thermostats and radiator valves, while Homematic IP and Bosch Smart Home fold heating control into a wider system.
