Thermostats

While Benjamin was working on the NAS and media centers, I decided to do some research on thermostats. 2 Years ago, we bought a Heatmiser PRT-WS WiFi thermostat. It had apps and we could control the temperature of the house with our phone. How cool!
However, no IPv6 support.
I contacted the  support desk (see previous post) and the outcome was simple: "We don't have the IPv6 service". I assumed the person at the helpdesk didn't know what IPv6 was, so I sent an e-mail back asking when IPv6 was on their roadmap and which thermostat would have IPv6 support first.
Anyway, I'm still waiting for a reply....I did get a customer satisfaction survey back.

So I looked online. There is a German company called Tado (tado.com) and they do exactly what I'm looking for, including IPv6 support for the thermostat and apps and wifi and everything.
They only ship in Germany. If you can get me one of those, I would be very grateful :)

The only thing is the price. 99 Euro....Per Year! That is not cheap.

For now, we can't upgrade our thermostat. Buh.

    doet nog geen IPv6, maar dat is een kwestie van even inbouwen.

    Als je al je eigen networked webcam maakt, waarom niet ook een networked thermostaat!
