Nest introduces thermostat with voice control for Europe

Nest Labs announced the European launch of the Nest Thermostat E, a smart thermostat you can control with your phone and your voice. If you're a fan of the connected home, get ready as Nest Labs has just launched the next big thing in temperature control.

But the Nest Thermostat E that launched Tuesday in the UK, Republic of Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands could really be one to get hyped about if you like controlling your home with your phone or voice.

The Nest Thermostat E has all the same features as the Nest Learning Thermostat, which was designed to help people save energy more easily, with a few new enhancements.

With its frosted, white display, selected to blend in with your home, the Nest Thermostat E can be installed in under an hour by homeowners with the existing thermostat's wires or with the help of one of 14,000 Nest Pro installers across the continent.

Before programming anything, the device come with a pre-installed schedule that adjusts as it learns your unique schedule in the same way that the Nest Learning Thermostat does. If you're not home, the smart thermostat will turn down the temperature. When you want the house warm when you wake up at 6am, the True Radiant function will start the adjustment early so that the desired temperature will be reached on schedule. Otherwise, you can do it manually on your phone wherever you may be.

The Nest Thermostat E can be pre-ordered now for £199/€219.
