Description

This app lets you use Siri and Apple Watch to control your Nest Thermostat!
It also lets you see HomeKit Thermostat info on the Watch Complications.

Apple Watch, Nest Thermostat, and Siri. Together at last.

* The app has Siri Voice shortcuts for seamless Siri control of your Nest, from the iPhone, Watch, iPad, and HomePod. It fully supports Apple Watch LTE, and can work when the iPhone is not around - as long as the watch itself has internet access (either LTE or WiFi).

* The app lets you monitor and control HomeKit thermostats like Ecobee, and functions largely the same with them as it does with Nest, except for the Siri Shortcuts functionality which is not needed with HomeKit. It lets you see your thermostat info on the Watch complications, and control it using the iOS widget.
_____________

• Using Siri voice shortcuts you can control many aspects of your Nest, such as instant activation of heating or cooling, setting the temperature by saying how many degrees you want to set, increasing/decreasing the temperature, and setting the Home/Away state. Thanks to Thermo Watch, It's all finally just one casual "Hey Siri" away, all with informative visual and verbal feedback.
• From the watch face, tap on the Thermo Watch complication to open the app. Spin the Digital Crown, or Swipe up/down to adjust the temperature. You can start adjusting the moment the app opens.
• On your iOS device you can see the thermostat info on the home screen widget, you can swipe to the widget panel to adjust the temperature on the interactive widget, or you can just open the app. Again, you can start adjusting the moment the controls appear.
• From your Apple TV, open the app, and swipe up/down on the remote to change the temperate.

The app is fully functional with an initial purchase. The in-app purchases are used only for giving a tip to the developer.

The app will let you know with a chime and a tap, that the thermostat has received and applied your command.

Monitor your Thermostats and Home/Away status right from the watch face, using complications that update in the background, without having to launch the app.

You can use Siri on your iPhone, Watch, iPad, or HomePod to control any of your thermostats. Record phrases that make most sense to you, such as "Start Heating" or "Make it Cooler". If you have multiple thermostats you can control them individually, by saying for example "Start Heating Upstairs" or "Start Cooling the Living Room".

Visit https://thermowatch.net/siri website for the detailed instructions of Siri operation.

Set Geofence around your home to reliably set the Home and Away state when you come and go.

The app supports multiple thermostats in multiple homes - just swipe left and right on your Watch screen to access them, or see them all at the same time in the iOS Widget and the app. Fahrenheit and Celsius are both supported.

Beyond that, you can press the Watch screen firmly for additional functions, like switching to a heating or cooling mode, setting the away status, choosing the active temperature sensor, or turning the fan on and off.

While the app's minimalist looks betray the simplicity of its operation, what they don't show is the amount of planning, design, development and refinement that went into it, ensuring it becomes something that is enjoyable to use and experience.

Thermo Watch does not collect any of your data. Your login information, thermostat settings, and any activity - all of it flows exclusively between your devices and Nest. Author of Thermo Watch does not receive any of it, at any point.

What’s New

Version 15.8

* iOS Home Screen widget now has interactive controls on the Mid, and Large sized Widget: Start/Stop Heating/Cooling are now available with one button press on the widget.
* Full screen support for the Series 7 watches.
* Siri Shortcuts on the watch should no longer repeatedly ask to Allow shortcut to run actions. Shortcuts on the watch work best when the watch is on its own on LTE, or when the phone is nearby to provide good network speed.
* Watch complications should now update correctly, and they are tied to iOS Home Screen Widget updates. Please make sure to have Thermo Watch Home Screen Widget enabled on your phone if you wish to have watch complications update in the background.
* In the iOS app settings, you can set the Low Temperature Warning. This feature requires Thermo Watch Home Screen Widget to be enabled on your phone. With this enabled, the app will send you a notification when the home temperature drops below specified threshold. Useful if you have a furnace that works unreliably, and reports that it's heating, when it's in fact not.
* The app can now detect if the thermostat is in Temperature Holding state, and offer to end the hold so that you can change the temperature.
* Fix for the app not always correctly switching from Off mode to Heat for some users. Thanks to Will who reported this!

If Thermo Watch has changed your home experience for the better, please consider giving a small tip using the Tip Jar option from the app's menu.

I can start the fan from the app but not specify the length of time

Is there a way to speak the length of time to have the fan run rather than just “start the fan” which defaults to whatever you have set in the app settings? It would be nice to be able to tell Siri “run the fan for 2 hours” or something like that. Also speaking the Siri shortcut works on iPhone, but I get an error every time I do the same from Apple Watch, and I do have the Siri shortcut on the watch. If I click the shortcut on the watch it works, if I speak it I get the error. Maybe just a few kinks to be worked out.

Hi AJ. There is no way right now to speak the length of the fan timer, but as you've noticed, you can change the length in the settings. Due to the way shortcuts work, this can't be made to work with a single sentence like in your example, but it can be made to work as a two-part request like the "Set Target Temperature" shortcut is doing. I am considering adding this into a future update. Thank you for pointing out the problem with invoking the shortcuts using voice on the watch. I have a fix for this and will release it in the next update. If you want to try it right away, let me know: marconelly@gmail.com

Works Perfect

First off thank you! I found this app by fluke as I was looking for the Nest app for the Apple Watch. Nothing! This saved me $200 from buying a third party box solution like the Sterling Hub or the Hoobs Box. Up until now, those were the only two options I knew of to get Siri to work with my Nest Thermostat. So far, this app has saves the day. Well done.

You’re welcome! I’m curious how you’ve found it. When I search for Nest Apple Watch app on the Canadian App Store, this comes up in the first few results. The app has been available for more than six years now, but I don’t really advertise it much. Feel free to contact me at marconelly@gmail.com

The Apple Watch complication does not auto refresh

I bought the app so I can control our Nest thermostat using my Apple Watch. While I am able to do this. The Watch complication data does not refresh when the ambient temperature decreases or increases. Or if I change the temp settings on Nest or the Nest iPhone app. I would have to launch the Apple Watch app manually for it to update. I’ve set the auto refresh rate to 15 minutes both from my iPhone and Watch settings, but it won’t auto refresh

Developer Response ,

Hi Liempotempo. For the watch complication to update, you have to place the Thermo Watch widget on your iPhone's home screen. If it still won't work, try powering off both your iPhone and the Watch at the same time, then power them both on. I hope this resolves the issue for you. Feel free to contact me at marconelly@gmail.com with any questions.
