Thats a bit too cheap TBH recently fitted one nest gen 3 are about £200 if you shop around both receiver and interface need a 240v supply

do you have a 240v supply near the interface?

Yes it will be plugged in using a plug socket in the lounge

Wrong mate only receiver needs 240v, the interface needs 12v dc

and where pray tell do you get 12v from but through a transformer reduced from a 240v source like gasman said

Yeh..you could go for the retro look and connect to an old Vauxhall Vecta car battery stuck on a glass table,so acid leaking out bottom causes no damage..
Or just plug it into ya ciggy lighter point and restrict ya self to local trips to say lidles so you stay in range

Actually a wrote it...but that aside.the nest is a good bit OK kit..easy to use..but very over priced..this day and age ..think you should be looking for a piece of kit that controls more than ya heating over the interweb via ya whatever..lights...oven..security ect ..these basic bits of kit are a rip off really...

Haha. I agree with you it is a bit pricey but as we all know it quality does cost. Well 3rd gen does your hot water aswell. I think you asking a bit now to do your lights,oven,sec etc .. Rako does all that for you, now that is pricey.
