Best app controllable thermostat 2025?

[djneils98]

so thanks to sodding google my once smart nest 2 is about to become a dumb device.
what are my options for a decent smart thermostat solution with app control that won't break the bank?

I have 'Hive' which I've used for a few years without any issues.

I'm with Hive as well; seems to be okay, but I did upgrade all of my TRVs so I can control the temperature of each room on a schedule.

The Hive TRVs can (it's optional) tell the main hub to turn on, and you can tie multiple TRVs together if you have several in a single room.

We have a system from www.ephcontrols.com

Perfect for us and support is great if needed

We have a Tado system. Every radiator apart from the one in the bathroom has a Tado controller on it. So every radiator can be controlled separately with its own schedule. Additionally in some rooms we have separate thermostats so which can be linked to multiple radiators in the same room. Works great. Not cheap but often have special offers.

Another Hive user here, and for a fair few years.

Observations:

It's reliable.

The app's a little clunky.

Adverts are too frequent.

I've stuck with it for years, so on balance, I'm satisfied with it.

I was a big fan of the Nest (3?) controllers, and it s a shame that they got discontinued.

I ve since moved house, and Tado seems to be the best option for me (2 heating zones and a hot water tank), but the look of the thermostat units puts me off a bit. Is there a new Nest product coming to the UK or have they totally exited now?

Another vote for tado, have had no problems and just seems to work.

Yep same here, not particularly "sexy", it just works and does the job, love the geofencing which is ideal for the wife's work patterns.

Yes, really peed off about this as well. Are Nest discontinued completely now?

Don’t see why they have to make them dumb when the app still works for them and could just leave the app alone??

I've used Tado (in an office building) and found it very good.
