Hi folks,

 

I am getting some new heat pumps installed in our house, and am looking for how to get some automated temperature control up and running.

 

We have no existing thermostats.

 

Are something like Nest thermostats the way to go?

 

Does anyone have the 3rd gen ones up and running in NZ?

 

Any other suggestions or alternatives?

Generally Heat pumps come with built in thermostats, and it is hard to actually control them via anyother means,  

 

I am not really aware of any heatpumps that will easily allow you to interface a 3rd party controller
