NEST THERMOSTAT E

£180, nest.com/uk

This cheaper Nest model doesn’t fit as much information on its screen and doesn’t feel as premium, but that’s it. Same algorithm, same Alexa and Google Home compatibility.

TADO SMART THERMOSTAT

£99, tado.com

Tado is very sociable: it works with 95% of the systems out there. It’s flexible, clever and supports a wide range of accessories too. Price cuts have made it even more enticing.

NEST LEARNING THERMOSTAT

£220, nest.com/uk

Nest made smart thermostats sexy and this third-gen model looks great. It’s simple to use with good Google Home and Amazon Echo integration, but a tad pricey, especially with installation.

HIVE ACTIVE HEATING 2

£179, hivehome.com

This excellent system is fitted by a qualified engineer, and includes a receiver, an internet hub and a wallmounted thermostat. It’s easy to use, and tracks your phone so the house is warm when you get home.
