Does exactly what it says it will do!
Thermobar is excellent for controlling *multiple* nest thermostats. There are a few options out there that are similar, but here is why you should get this one:
- It just works, and does so reliably.
- It handles more than one Nest. (I am using it with 5.)
- You can conveniently name each device
- The developer (Don) is very, very responsive. (I emailed him a suggestion and he responded and was working on adding it within a few hours despite already having a few other unrelated things going on.)
Now, for the bad reviews:
My guess is these are coming from either competitors or people that didn’t read the description before they bought it. As I said before, it does exactly what it says it does…no more and no less.
And for those complaining that it uses the Nest website for detailed control, that is correct. And I would argue the best option. Nest makes beautiful interfaces and you should enjoy it. Fortunately Don just makes it really easy to access the original Nest interface. If he were to build his own, it would likely require a great deal of maintenance and creativity while falling short of what Nest has now and will likely improve in the future. Bottom line, I consider this a positive feature.
And if you bought a nest, I am pretty sure you can use one days savings to help pay for this app. :)
