Nest Thermostat

Anyone hook a Nest up to their pellet stove ?

I would really like to have control of my stove with my iPhone.

Fire the stove up about an hour before I get home, etc...

Keep my Harman XXV in Room Temp mode and wire the probe into this thermostat.

Any ideas ?

No idea, but I am interested as well. I am getting the Accentra insert installed and that would be great if it could control that. I will be closely watching this post.

I have a Generation 2 Nest ordered.

We shall see...

Cool! Please let me know if it works. I'll order the same day.

My guess...no. Don't believe the Nest is millivolt compatible. That and you still need a 24 volt power source to keep it going. Some day...

where there is a will there is a way. I have hooked up a NEST to an Enviro M55 Steel, and used the central system on auxiliary, so far works so good!

Nice toy, but I can think of a lot of other things to do with $230, when a $35, 7 day programmable stat will do almost as much.

Just my 2cents.

I won't learn....that's what my wife tells me anyway! doh! Maybe she's talking about me!

A Big Yes to that + cuts into Beer Funds

I'd also love to control my stove from the internet or my smartphone but I agree with what lbcynya said.

In a couple of years, I doubt the price will be $235, probably less than $100

You can do this yourself if handy with electronics for maybe $30. AVR or PIC, Ethernet interface, temperature probe, display, few lines of code, done. It's sinful that they're selling it for $230. I'm sure in a year or two we'll see half a dozen versions of this under $100 and in three or four years it'll be hard to buy a thermostat that DOESN'T talk to your smartphone.

Cutting into brew funds is criminal, where are the police when you really need them?

There is a easy way to make a setup to run any stove on a 24v tstat w/ a transformer and a relay. I did it w/ my p-38. I will try to draw up a diagrahm and post it.

Thank You

What model will do same as the Nest?

All the internet controllable units I looked at where in the $175-300 range.
