[QUOTE="Lurch, post: 450059, member: 6967"] I think you might be right there, but it's not a major issue for the most part. What exactly are you missing out on there? If you set the heating to come on at 5 the MiGenie turns on at 5. The Nest tries to get the place warm for 5. I know it wouldn't take my heating long to get the place warm for 5 so I'd set it to come on at maybe 4:45. More marketing blurb from Nest, it really isn't all that much of a useful feature and doesn't really do anything. If you feel that is important, again pros and cons to this. I find this completely useless, if I am popping out for an hour the heating would turn off, then the place would cool down and when I get back I'd be sat waiting for it to warm up again. I can sort of see the advantage in some instances, not really a deal breaker IMO, especially all things considered. Didn't realise the Nest had come down in price so much, that used to be a huge factor. Maybe I suppose, I am an electrician, I do not want to be faffing around fitting rubbish ill thought out awkward devices (over and over again....). I suppose as a DIYer YMMV, you are only doing it once. So yeah, go for it then. Have fun. [/QUOTE]
