A very useful device.
Pared with wifi easily.
Easy to install
I use with Alexa when home and use phone app when away.
Trend graphs very useful
I can see the claims about reducing energy costs are justified as long as you take the trouble to take notice of the information provided.
Price has gone up recently but still represent good value compared to others

Easy enough to install. It does its own thing and the house is always nice and warm.
If you do not have a room thermostat at the moment you will need to be OK with accessing the boilers control panel and connecting the Netatmo control unit to it, but it is easy enough to do.
Accessing it from the phone app is easy and the app is well laid out.

I purchased this to replace my existing non-smart wireless thermostat.

My purchasing decision was between this and the Tado system but went for this one on price as the Tado cost over 300 including installation. Whilst Netatmo do have some approved installers on their website my local plumber charged me 50 quid and said it was relatively painless to do.

In terms of installation you essentiallly have two boxes, the relay, which is wired to the boiler, and the thermostat itself, which is battery operated. The relay also connects to the WiFi in the home unlike Tado and Hive, which require an additional hub connected to the router. This may not be an issue for all but I already have a Phillips Hue Hub so ideally didn’t want yet another hub.

Once wired up (but before connecting to router etc) this basically operates like a non-smart wireless thermostat, so even if you internet goes down you won’t lose control of your heating.

The setup process is easy and can be done from your phone. Once this is done, then you can get into programming heating schedules etc. HomeKit setup was also a doddle, the only downside is that HomeKit works in incriments of 1 degree Celsius as opposed to 0.5 on the Netatmo app. This is also compatible with Google Home and has been linked up with my Google Home speaker (also works with Alexa but can’t comment on setup process).

The thermostat itself is highly programmable and you can also set it up so it learns (similar to Nest but not quite the same) how long it takes to heat your home. One area where it is distinctly behind competition (Tado) is that it doesn’t implement geofencing but all things considered, this was 99 plus installation whereeas Tado Thermostat plus wireless extension kit was 278 plus installation.

The system facilitated future expansion as you can also add smart radiator valves and further thermostats.

Overall I think this thermostat offers excellent value for money and would definitely recommend for someone who is looking for a capable smart thermostat but doesn’t want to be tied into the Hive/Nest ecosystem.

This thermostat is simple to install, The associated app is easy to use and there is also a touch pad unit for the house.
Myself and 3 of my friends have it installed in our homesand are all very impressed.

Easy to use once set up. Relay sometimes loses connection. App is very good, easy to control temperature, and predictive algorithm is good.

The only downside of this is the screen – I’ll get that out of the way first. It’s not that limiting though as I usually use my phone to control it anyway.

Once set up, after approx. 7 days it offered me a new setting (to more accurately control the heating) – what a difference. Before that setting, it acted as a pretty basic thermostat (and I wondered if it was worth the money just to be able to switch my heating on and off remotely – the swings were high – up to 3C – as it made no adjustment for the fact my radiators retained heat after heating or that it took a certain time to get the room up to temperature). Now, the swings are low (less than 0.1C) and the boiler is on for shorter periods (more often, but overall less time). This is what I paid for. Smiley face!

Setting up is pretty easy – I wired it in a way not shown in the book (hard wired the relay into the timer – basically the relay connects the black and grey wires when the thermostat is on, so I connected the grey to live and the black to switch the boiler – if you don’t know how these things work I wouldn’t try this though).

I am using it with a gas heater. It’s simple to install and configure. The IOS app is intuitive, logical and easy to use. More importantly, the device seems to be quite stable once configured (no reboots, no dropped connections).

It’s a minimalistic, very nice looking device.

I am really impressed, hence five stars.

No smart learning functions as far as I can tell, but as a digital/wifi thermostat it’s great value.

Looking for a replacement for my old digital thermostat that had sticky buttons and was surprised to find that this Smart stat was not much more expensive than a conventional thermostat. Also finding that this is highly recommended by Which? and was very simple to install decided to get one. Swapped over in about 1 hour and so far very happy, but of course the true test will be when the cold weather returns.

The thermostat in my house was never wired up for some reason, it gets power fine, but the control wires to the boiler were never installed. This meant that to turn on our heating I had to turn the knob directly on the boiler itself, wait until the house felt warm then turn the knob off again. This was a terrible way of doing it as the house was always being heated from cold and it also became too hot which meant we were spending a fortune on gas.

My Father actually let me know about the Netatmo after having one installed himself and after playing with his for a while I decided it was perfect for my needs. I made sure to read reviews and also watched some videos on Youtube to make sure it was compatible with my system.

Installation was a breeze and took me less than 10 minutes. My only problem was the wifi connection but I fixed this by installing a wifi extender in the utility room near to the boiler. I think the wifi on the module is very week and needs a good strong signal to communicate with ‘the cloud’ – The thermostat will work without wifi but you wont be able to control it from your phone, tablet or PC, nor will you be able to use the heating schedules.

Once it was all up and running I was able to set the heating schedule on my phone and that was that. The heating comes on and goes off when it should and I get updates every so often asking if I want to change anything which is actually a nice feature. The portable screen has been installed on a wall in our family room but we hardly go near it due to the easy to use app on our phones.

I have not used the away from home features yet so wont comment on them.

All in all its a easy to install and easy to use thermostat, it does not have complicated features or extra features which you pay for but never use, it just does what you want it to.

Easy to install with the help of a bit more knowledge from the Netatmo Community Forum, but it is difficult for them to include guidance on every combination and permutation of boiler system. Has been running for a few weeks now and the flexibility of having the thermostat as a floating (wireless) entity means it sits dead centre of our living room and is far more accurate in judging temps and comfort for the room and in turn whole house. Thoroughly recommended and will be interested to see the effect on the heating bills over time.

We’ve had ours for over two weeks. It’s so easy to fit, (I did it myself within 20 minutes), Has great features, supports IFTTT (If This Then That) and Amazon Echo which we have Echo and Dots in every room. Added bonus is Apple HomeKit. You can control your heating via the Home app on IOS and via Siri.

It’s starting to learn our household habits and is adapting to what we want and when. It also now predicts when the heating needs a boost or a drop and the graph is very informative.

Looking forward to buying the Radiator Valves to add in each room when they come out.

Amazing Thermostat at a very low price!! Very happy.

Despite the poor response times from the manufacturers “support” team, proved easy to install to replace my rotary thermostat. A joy to use and now able to control my central heating anytime, anywhere.

For anyone with some basic electrical knowledge it’s very simple to instal.
Software and App is easy to instal and set up, also linked to my Echo with no problems.
System is very easy to use and i have found it to be very useful.
I did send photos of my orginal stat to the netamo address listed but have not had any reply, so their support is a bit of a minus.

Really simple to fit with my combo boiler. A DIY job if you’re halfway comfortable with wiring a plug. Has been reliably working for me for maybe 3 months now. Easy to control from app (away from home or at home) or stat. Quite boringly efficient. It just works. I’m very happy.

I won some vouchers at work so I paid even less for this. But it’s certainly worth the full price. My boiler’s timer-clock broke down and the company had quoted me 200 to repair it! Whereas this was half the price and it upgraded my system to ‘smartness.’ Installation was easy (because I like DIY and my system just needed a replacement thermostat- one of the three installation scenarios). You can either follow the manual or watch an online video. Both are clear and helpful. My installation took a little longer because I lost one of the tiny screws, so be careful! Once it’s complete though, it looks neat and works a dream. I’m still learning the phone app’s schedule system. So far, so good. I absolutely love it!

I recently became the owner of a Netatmo thermostat and after a few days of using and examining it in detail I wish to give you some honest user feedback about it. It is an absolutely great thermostat, one of the best on the market, but I think it could still use a bit of improvement.

Why I bought the Netatmo thermostat (and not one of the competitor smart thermostats) and what I love about it (most important first):
– The promise that soon there will be smart radiator valves working with it
– Integration with Amazon Echo
– Integration with the Domoticz home automation system
– IFTTT integration
– Separation of the thermostat from the relay module
– Elegant and simplistic design
– Portability of the thermostat (ability to easily move from one room to another, not necessary to mount it on a wall, has its own mobile stand)
– Detailed heating graphs on the web and in the mobile app
– E-ink display which saves battery and also no LED’s on the thermostat which bother the user at night

What could be improved:
– Release the smart radiator valves sooner than later
– Easier switching between different schedules. the web interface provides the possibility to easily switch between schedules through the use of a combo box, but the Android app does not. In the android app the user has to go through several clicks in the settings to change the current schedule. I personally have two schedules: “Work week” and “Stay at home”. Since I randomly find out in the morning whether I will have to go to the office or stay at home, I want to be able to quickly switch between these two schedules from my phone as soon as I wake up in the morning.
– The control of the target temperature is not precise enough. The target temperature can be changed in increments of 0.5 degrees, which I find to be not granular enough. For example a target temperature of 21.5 degrees is too low for me but a target temperature of 22 degrees is too high. I’d like to be able to change the target temperature in increments of 0.25 degrees.
– The control of the heating intervals is not precise enough. The start/end points of the intervals can be changed in increments of 15 minutes. I would like to be able to change the start/end points of the intervals with minute-level precision. For example I wish to set the end of the night mode at 6:23AM, not at 6:15AM or 6:30AM.
– The thermostat does not show the state of the boiler (On or Off). The web interface and the mobile app have this enhancement, but I would like to just glance at my thermostat and see if the boiler is on or off.
– Physically existing button on the thermostat to toggle the Away mode. Again, this can only be done from the web interface or from the mobile app, not from the thermostat itself.
– Better API. I took a look at the publicly available API and I can’t find a way to ask the thermostat whether the boiler is On or Off. Probably this is why I can’t ask my Amazon Echo about the status of the boiler and I also can’t see this in Domoticz.
– Better Amazon Echo skill. the current Amazon Echo skill is very limited. I can only change the set-point temperature. The skill won’t even tell me the current measured temperature. It won’t tell me the state of the boiler either. It does not allow me to use my Amazon Echo to set the thermostat to Away mode or to schedule mode. It feels like this skill has only been created for marketing purposes, for being able to advertise it’s existence, but in reality it has very limited capabilities.
– Better graphs on the web and in the mobile app. The graphs on the web are almost perfect. Their only problem is that they are not shown for the correct time intervals. For example when I’m looking at the graphs for the week I wish to see the data for the past 7 days, not for the current week. This is especially true at the beginning of a week. If I open the graphs on Monday, I don’t just want to see the data for Monday, I wish to see the data for the past 7 days. Same is true for month and year. The mobile app graphs should be the same as the web-based graphs. Currently the mobile graphs are a bit strange, I’m never exactly sure which period of time I’m seeing the data for.

Just installed the Netatmo thermostat. What is good with this thermostat is that there is two ways to install and set up. You can either use it to replace an existing wall thermostat or you can wire it up directly to your boiler and then install the thermostat in a any location in your home. I chose to go for the former, as I wasn’t keen on opening up my boiler and rewiring things.
To install you simply disconnect your existing wall thermostat, identify the appropriate wires needed, install the new mounting plate for Netatmo and then connect to the thermostat. This was probably the easiest part of the process as I was fortunate not to have complicated wiring and it was a pretty straightforward swap over. Thankfully my previous thermostat was similarly sized, therefor I didn’t need to use the bundled plastic plate. One feature that is really handy is regardless of what way up you install the Netatmo it automatically adjusts the screen orientation, in my case the wiring meant I needed to install the mount upside down. You also get a variety of bright coloured stickers to add to your Netatmo, I opted not to use one, preferring to have the white thermostat as is.
The second part of the installation requires you to set up the relay. This is the small box that connects to the internet and wirelessly connects to the thermostat. You need to plug this into a wall outlet in a location that is relatively close to the thermostat but also where it gets a decent wifi signal. This stage took a good three attempts to get going. On iOS the relay utilities the AirPort Accessory set up, essentially it copies your wifi information from your iPhone. This didn’t work on the first couple of attempts for me. Finally it connected, but then the relay wouldn’t connect to the thermostat. After turning everything off and on again, this seemed to get going.
The app itself is pretty self explanatory, you can also connect it to HomeKit on iOS, allowing you to add automations etc. The app will ask you for some information, like when you get up, go to work, come home and go to bed. It will then build a schedule. You can add additional schedules, i.e. if you’re on holiday or day off. Over time the thermostat learns information about it’s surroundings, i.e. how long it takes to heat up relative to the weather outside.
My initial impressions are that it’s pretty decent and straightforward to use. I’m not sure how accurate the thermostat is, as from initial monitoring the readings seem to differ quite a bit from my previous thermostat.

Had this for a few months now, and it’s functioning perfectly. Firstly, installation is a complete doddle. I bought this over the other alternatives as Netatmo actually seem to recognise that most people are capable of wiring it themselves. It’s incredibly easy with 4 wires that you just swap over from your old thermostat, or go directly to the boiler. Clear instructions, easy to follow. Took all of 15 minutes to wire up (I’m no sparky!). This got the thermostat working, although I was mystified by the “light flash pattern” codes briefly.

Now the “smart” bit – I downloaded the app, you also need to register an account, you can then connect to the thermostat. Mine immediately asked me to update the app/firmware before it would let me do anything. Seemingly after resetting itself a number of times, eventually it was ready to go (I had no idea what it was doing during the update process etc. but needed no intervention from me other than just opening the app).

The app is very simple and clear to use with a friendly interface allowing you to set the temperature, but also to set schedules. We’ve done it as a one-hit, and not really had to touch it since (set the weekly schedule up for different temperatures).

The greatest party trick of this for us has been the ability to remotely turn the heating off when we go away on holiday, and to turn it on the day before we come back to return to a toasty house. The thermostat has worked perfectly so far, without any glitches!

Way more reliable than the “dumb” wireless honeywell controller we had before which had the much publicised display failure. Given this cost the same as a replacement unit, with all its additional functionality, the Netatmo was a no-brainer.

Super easy to use, its pretty easy to install a bit of simple logic is all that’s required. The ‘relay’ has 2 wires for a constant live, and 2 wires that are simply a switch to request heat, you could if so inclined simply replace an existing thermostat with this (provided you find a permanent live as well) or you could, like I did remove your old thermostat and old programmer simply have the Netatmo.
Remembering the old thermostat is just an on/off switch, and the programmer is just an on/off switch that’s all your replacing two on/off switches with Netatmo as an on/off switch.

My suggestion would be download the wiring diagram of your existing thermostat and programmer, on my 2 channel programmer terminal 4 went to the thermostat which then connected to the mid section valve, so when heating was requested a live mains connection was passed from terminal 4 of the programmer into the thermostat then on to the white wire of the mid section valve thus requesting heat.

To replace this setup, which is probably fairly standard on a old style fully pumped heating/hot water system, I simply wired one of the Netatmo ‘switch’ wires into permanent live, the other end straight to the white wire on the mid section valve, thus bypassing the programmer and old thermostat, yet simulating the same signal as would be provided by the old programmer/thermostat.

Now of course on a system like mine the programmer is still required to run the hot water, but the ‘central heating’ channel of the programmer now does nothing, remember to remove terminal 4 wire, as it could still supply a live if the central heating was accidentally activated on the programmer

I’ve seen a couple of complains on other review sites stating that the Netatmo is a ‘volt free switching’ device thus incompatible with systems that require a 230v live, to that I say you did the right thing in sending the device back, clearly electricity is far to complicated a thing for you to be messing about with, I mean seriously if you’ve found a permanent live source for the Netatmo you’ve already found the live required for the switch! As demonstrated above.

If you have a more modern system like a combi-boiler I would have imagined its even easier to wire as you don’t have hot water wiring to worry about, I’ll be wiring a combi-boiler Netatmo next month for my Mum, will report back on how easy or difficult it is.

Personally I’d get the wiring of the relay sorted before doing the wifi/account setup, post wiring the rest of the setup is a doddle, there’s a couple of videos on youtube on how to setup the relay to your wifi, I opted to connect to my laptop via usb, it was really simple.

The reason I went for the Netatmo over the many many other options out there, it is very good value for money at this price, and its a complete kit, you don’t need an additional wifi relay to use this over the internet, the thermostat can be wall mounted or free standing, its all there. and coming soon will be the Netatmo smart radiator valves which will fit in with this system, sure Hive2 can do that too, but its twice the price.

According to the expectations, simple to use, have the most important factories, works perfectly. It could be even more intelligent taking in consideration other alternatives…software improvements to allow for example to start automatically considering your distance to home and starting earlier according temperature and time needed to achieve the expected temperature!

But it’s a great product!

Purchased from Amazon when on Cyber Monday offer. It is HomeKit Edition.

Installation was super easy , I was a little afraid as my boiler is over 10 year old, but all went smoothly. Instructions included with thermostat were sufficient. Everything was covered if it comes to wiring and setup with Netatmo app.

The only minor thing I would mention… Netatmo recommends to install relay at least 30 cm away from the boiler (or any metallic objects).. to do that, they would have to provide longer boiler adapter. I ended up putting relay less than 30 cm from boiler, luckily so far didn’t have any problems with relay dropping from the wireless. It could happen as metallic objects absorb radio waves and worsen WiFi reception. (if problems will occur I will have to consider lengthening cables to relay or extending my WiFi reception with some WiFi boosters)… so far so good though.

Adding to HomeKit is easy as well, although I cant work out how to set up scenes with it. They are all set up but it doesn’t behave the way it should (in my opinion) . If it is my fault I will change review to 5 stars .

Using the app is great, super easy to use. Simplistic design – which is advantage for me. My thermostat is still in learning mode but I already know it will save me money (maybe not advertised >30%… but it definitely will)

I took a time to choose the thermostat and I believe I made the right choice. Simple design, HomeKit integration, remote control, custom schedules, Thermostat learning algorithms , radiator valves (hopefully available soon)…

Happy Netatmo Thermostat owner.

I don’t often write reviews, but this thermostat is very easy to install, very easy to setup and will hopefully pay for itself. I rather like its minimalist looks and as long as you only have two control wires behind your thermostat that controls the heating it should be as easy to install as mine, installed and working in less than 20mins

I have absolutely no DIY skills so chose this system as it is easy to install. Indeed it is about the only smart heating control that suggests that self installation is possible. From my experience home installation is possible if you are replacing a wired thermostat with this Netatmo. It involves replacing the wired thermostat with the Netatmo unit using the same wiring. It is brilliant in these circumstances but the installation process is long winded. So 5 stars but contact me on how to set up

Wanted a new thermostat to replace an inaccurate mechanical one and decided that Nest and Hive were too expensive. I was impressed from the moment I opened the box and the effort the company have taken with the design is clear to see. The instructions are basic but the Internet didn’t let me down and there is a tonne of info out there to help. The fitting was easy once I worked out a way to mount the thermostat which was smaller than my previous one. Now it’s up and running I have to say I like it. The app it runs off is clean and uncluttered and although it’s only been several hours I’d swear the boiler hasn’t been on as much. This seems to be the perfect compromise between function and cost. Looking forward to tomorrow morning and cranking the heat up from my bed.

Excellent product has been fitted for about a month now and has successfully profiled the thermal profile of my house so that it can accurately predict when it need to switch on the heating to reach the target temperature I have set at the time I have set it taking into account the outside temperature and the thermal lag of my house. The mobile apps work well on iOS, Android and Windows Phone. This is one of the few connected thermostats that have a Windows Phone app. In summary everything works as described, it was really easy to install and is very easy and intuitive to use both the thermostat manually or through the app or web interface.

I am using Netatmo Thermostat now for over a month and I am very very satisfied with it.

I love that I can set my temperature from everywhere now using either mobile app or web page.
Webpage is nice to use, mobile app is even better, really clean and nice.
It is very precise regarding managing the temperature in the room. The prediction mode is very useful and again very precise.

When I was buying it one of the biggest selling points for me was API, since I am a developer, I love it that I can play with it using API.

There are some minor thing that could be improved, like indicator on the main unit to show you if boiler is on or not.
I would love to see the outside temperature (which is taken from web source) on the graphs.
Maybe some advance developer options, like adding your own data to the graphs…

Anyway… highly recommended!

Installation slightly more complicated than I had hoped, but I had excellent support from Netatmo who advised how to proceed. After having it for a month it has just switched on a new mode that understands the thermal characteristics of our house, so we can just update our schedule to say what temperature and when. The thermostat then figures out what time it needs to switch on the boiler accordingly. Highly recommended if it is compatible with your heating.

I’d love to have given this 6 stars – it’s such a neat bit of kit and seems easy to use. Unfortunately, despite the website advice, it was not compatable with my system/thermostat, so had to be returned.

The thermostat was very easy to fit – just had to transfer 2 wires from the old thermostat to the new. The Android app is very easy to use, and we now set the temp to “Away” whenever we are going out for a few hours, followed by reactivating the system when we are about 30 minutes from getting back home. A friend of mine was so impressed, that he even had me order one for him!

Fitting this thermostat to my boiler took no more than 20 minutes – most time was spent taking the covers off!
The base unit connected straight away, and using the iPhone App everything connected within seconds – really impressive. Now we can monitor how we use the heating, even turning the system on from the car when we are on our way home. There are other similar products out there – but this must be the best! I’m looking forward to adding to my Netatmo network with the weather station.
