Additional Thermostat Necessities - Sensors, Humidistats, Subbases, And More!


Have you recently purchased a new thermostat and are interested in keeping it in top condition? Perhaps you need that extra boost for your thermostat control, such as added humidity control, but are not interested in purchasing a whole new thermostat. There are several additional pieces that you may need or simply want for your home comfort control that can benefit your thermostat system. Read on to learn more about pieces you can easily find for yours!

Subbases: Thermostat subbases are usually included with your original thermostat, and if you took apart your thermostat, you would see the subbase already there. However, certain models require a subbase, and sometimes older models require that the subbase be purchased separately. With a conductive grid, the subbase connects heating and cooling mechanisms from your home systems to your thermostat face.

Lock Boxes: A thermostat lock box, also referred to as a thermostat guard, or cover, is simply a protective device for keeping your thermostat safe. Usually lock boxes come in mini, small, medium, or large sizes so that fitting to your exact make and model of thermostat is not a problem. There are of course, lock boxes specifically designed for a certain thermostat. Lock boxes can come in colors or solid white, to hide a dull looking thermostat, or in clear to solely serve as thermostat protection without altering the look of your thermostat. Lock boxes can be locked with keys to stop others from changing your temperature settings and raising your electric bills without your knowledge! Some come with tamper-resistant locks, so the key cannot be removed easily.

Temperature Sensors: Sensors are used with a thermostat to accurately tell and relay surrounding temperatures. There are several types to choose from such as bi-metal, electronic thermistors, and electrical thermocouples. With a temperature sensor, it is possible to relay outdoor temperatures and various temperatures throughout your home easily and quickly, all from a central location.

Humidity Sensors: A humidistat is a device that allows your thermostat to direct not only temperature, but also humidity levels. Like a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor is simply a recording device to give your thermostat the ability to control these two functions simultaneously for ultimate comfort levels in a home.

Nest Learning Thermostat


The Nest Learning Thermostat is a revolutionary new type of thermostat. Recent years have seen a tremendous growth in the field of digital thermostats, nest is looking to turn this area around. Due to daily lives it is nearly impossible to properly program a thermostat; emergencies, vacations, work schedules, all make it difficult to set a thermostat on a schedule, this is the reason that the EPA took away many thermostats energy star ratings in 2009.

The $ 249 price tag for the Nest Learning Thermostat may frighten many potential customers off, but if one takes into account that a self-learning thermostat can save up to $ 6000 over a 30 year period, it is easy to see why this would be a great investment. The Nest Learning Thermostat is unique in many ways, this thermostat is the first of it's kind with light sensors keeping track of when your home and wireless connectivity keeping all Nests in your home aware of each other, and keeping track of the weather outside in order to help with heating and cooling.

Nest has a feature called the "Nest Leaf" this is a small leaf that is displayed on the monitor which appears when the temperature is changed to something that is more energy efficient. The best feature of the Nest Learning Thermostat has to be the ability to see energy history. Nest has the ability to display it's history of energy usage, as well as exact times when it was cut on and how it affected the energy bill, allowing the user to make smarter decisions when it comes to heating or cooling the home.

Nest has a built in humidity sensor in order to measure in-door moisture. When Nest senses low indoor humidity it will activate it's "airwave" feature, turning the air conditioner off and turning the fan on, this will help preserve a cool temperature in the house while reducing the utility bill. Nest has the ability of "Nest Sense" a new kind of ability in this field that enables all thermostats to interact with each other and contribute efforts in finding out more about the homeowner. When utilizing a number of thermostats auto-away will not kick in until each and every unit senses that the owners have left. Multiple thermostats may also be managed from one account online, either at the same time or separately.

Upon order Nest is promptly delivered to the home in a nice package, with freight and handling as low as $ 10. Nest installation is quick and easy, taking a sum total of about 15 minutes. The box includes a number of items, including the Nest Learning Thermostat, wire labels, optional use face-plates, and the required documentation. Nest installation is actually straightforward, simply by removing the old thermostat, connecting the wires, and place the Nest and then everything is ready to go. Nest also supplies professional installation for users that are not the do it yourself types, for an additional cost.

Nest Learning Thermostat to Improve the Comfort of Your Nest


Background

Steve Jobs will not only be remembered for his visionary genius in the lifestyle changes his technology brought to the media and music genres, but also for his creative team. One example is Tony Fadell, the hardware engineer that approached Apple with the original idea of the iPod. The iPod did for music what the Mac did for computers. Both brought technology to a higher level. Since the iPod's introduction in 2001, it has evolved many times. Over 8 years Fadell led the team that produced 18 generations of the iPod and 3 versions of the iPhone.

When Fadell left Apple in 2008 he promised Jobs that he wouldn't compete with Apple. Fadell took time off to figure out what new idea would excite his creativity again enough to bring him out of retirement. True to his word, on October 25, 2011 Fadell revealed the project he and his copartner, former iPhone software manager Matt Rogers, have been developing for the past 18 months. So what is this new revolutionary product? A thermostat. Yes, that's correct, a thermostat. But this is no ordinary thermostat. This is the iPod of thermostats. When building his green home, Fadell found a less than impressive selection of thermostats, even high-end options. He researched and found that a properly programmed thermostat can amount to a 20% energy savings and a change of just one degree can cut energy costs by 5%. Approximately 50% of a home's energy bill is controlled by a thermostat. Why does it have to be an ugly beige box on the wall? With these facts and his engineering knowledge, he formed the Nest Labs and developed the Nest learning thermostat.

Aesthetic style and Hidden Functions Menu

As with the iPod and iPhone, Fadell adds a unique aesthetic style to the simple round dial made of high quality stainless steel rings which reflects the light and color around it. The rings act as a dial that can be turned left or right in order to manually adjust the temperature up or down. The main menu is cleverly hidden. In order to access the main menu, the black button in the middle is tapped and the menu lights up. The menu includes an away function that allows for optimum energy savings when the user is not at home. Fadell incorporated the smart phone technology that allows remote access from an iPhone or iPad app.

Learning Program and Energy Savings

Instead of a programmable program that only around 10% of consumers bother to set, he developed a more user-friendly interface learning program. After gathering pattern information, the program eventually programs itself with little input from the user. The green leaf is a visual feedback that displays when heating or cooling wisely. When the temperature is initially set by the user, the thermostat will adjust itself by an almost undetectable 1 or 2 degrees resulting in a 5 - 10% instant energy savings. The Nest includes five different sensors - temperature, humidity, light, near field and far field. The sensors can sense when the user is a home, sunlight from windows, and room lighting. The latter two sensors act much like the motion sensor of a security system.

Fadell emphasizes that his product focuses on the end-user and their needs. As an end-user, he desired a product that would save energy, be appealing and easy to use. As an engineer, he was able to draw on his experience and develop the product and offer it to the market. The cost of $249 may at first seem somewhat high, but the potential savings factor will more than pay for itself. At the time of this writing the initial presales have temporarily caused the shutdown of new orders until early 2012.
