Nesting Time

Posted on June 7, 2012 by Simon Phipps

Are Nest Labs through to open ground at last? After its brush with an especially unpleasant patent troll, the tide seems to be changing for the makers of the Nest Learning Thermostat who have been able to get both Apple and Amazon to carry it in the USA. If you’ve not seen it before, do take a look – it’s a smart domestic heating controller that learns your lifestyle patterns and programs itself to manage your heating (and cooling) efficiently. It’s a product I would really like to try, but there’s no sign it’s heading to Europe at the moment.
