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.

Quick and easy to use

The app is really easy to use and connected with no issues to my existing nest. Since quick connect and skylark are no longer on the app store this so is filling an essential part of my home automation allowing me to geofence are around my home to set the best to home and away automatically.

I would love to be able to have this handle 2 or more people at home to allow it to only activate when the home geofence area is empty of users.

Great work and hopefully add google move to the new app the developer will be able to port over to the new api.

Fantastic app and an even better, responsive developer who is just a decent person!

I got this app around a year ago, or just over. At the time the Nest E wasn’t supported, not because the developer didn’t add it but because Nest, (now Google), didn’t open the API. Marko (the developer), responded to my email within 24hrs, and has been in contact on and off since. He emailed me this week to let me know that logging in with my Google account using my Nest E is now possible and furthermore to add the cherry to the cake he told me he enabled VoiceOver support! Imagine any other developer once you have paid your little amount that this app costs contacting you one year later to be nice and let you know the reason you bought the app that is to use it with SIRI and your Apple Watch, now works.... I would argue many don’t do this, also many don’t go out of their way to add accessibility support. Sure some might add it by accident or just cover the basics. I am a huge supporter of this app, and Marko the developer because I’m a real person who has had an awesome experience and been treated like a person and not just a customer. Marko if you are ever in Ireland you have my email, shoot me a mail and I will meet you and treat you to dinner and a few pints!

Developer Response ,

I’m so glad the app is working for you now! It’s a shame I couldn’t add the support for Nest E any sooner, so that you could use the app, because I took your advice, and added Voiceover support a long time ago. A really good friend of mine lives in Ireland, so it’s not out of realm of possibility that I visit there someday - and if I do, I’ll make sure to let you know :)

A fantastic app!

I am so pleased to have discovered this amazing app! As a long time Nest Thermostat user, I had become frustrated with the ever increasing unreliability and unpredictability of the Nest app since the Google takeover. Every update to the app seemed to make things worse. I was seriously thinking of looking for a replacement thermostat, and then I found Thermo Watch on the app store.

It looked as if it could be the answer to all my problems but I had a few questions. I emailed Marko (the developer) and was surprised and delighted to receive a reply within a couple of hours. This happened with a couple more questions before I decided to install the app.

The app has exceeded all my expectations- it controls the thermostat with a much improved interface, the home/away feature works reliably, and the Watch and Siri functionality is great. I still need to keep the Nest app installed on my phone for some occasional functions such as changing schedules, but Thermo Watch provides all the day to day operational functionality. I thoroughly recommend Thermo Watch to all Nest thermostat users.
