Smart thermostats - Nest thermostat losing many features

[MikeSharp01]

Classic system of systems issue. If you choose to use systems built by others that are controlled by others then you should expect to play by their rules. Open source, local hosting and Linux operating systems are perhaps the only way to go.

Why doesn't weather compensation work on all houses? 

 

It's just energy in equal to energy out.

 

I'm absolutely sure it would work on all houses (as you say you are just putting the same amount of energy in to replace the energy lost) but I'm also equally sure that if I had WC on our house 25 years back I wouldn't have liked the bills much..........

 

I think once you get the level of insulation/air tightness up to a half decent std it comes into it's own in comparison to scheduled heating
