Hi Paul,
Nest is not RadioThermostat.com, they have nothing to do with each other. Nest is Google. I bought some Dropcams a while ago for my store, they are wireless video security cameras which can keep a 10-day or 30-day recording log online (depending on your plan) and Dropcam was consequently bought out by Nest. I remember a news article a few months ago where something happened (it was in the winter) and people didn’t have access to their Nest thermostats for a day or so and I think the temperature set itself quite low. Once again, I don’t have one, but it sounded like you can’t control them locally which, if that is the case, I think would be pretty silly. The thermostats used by Radio Thermostat are just digital thermostats which you can control also locally and of course they have the WiFi capability so you can control them via the app, but if your WiFi went down or their servers and you are at home you can still set them to whatever you want. There is also one on the Apple Store which is super expensive at I think $250, I can’t remember what the Nest ones cost, but the Radio Thermostat one you can get I think for $99 and as far as I am concerned there is no reason why such a thermostat should cost much more than $100 or $120.

What is the app called, and how is its accessibility? Then iDevices makes one; what is it called, and does it still have accessibility issues in its app? I heard it has had issues for a long time. Then there are the Nest thermostats? Are those the ones on Radiothermostat.com or are we talking about two separate ones here? I am researching and trying to write a blog post on these thermostats so ideas, thoughts, and opinions are appreciated. Whatever anyone says will not have their name attributed to it. Thank you.
