Description
Apple Watch, Nest Thermostat, and Siri. Together at last.
＊ The app has Siri Voice shortcuts for seamless Siri control of your Nest, from the iPhone, Watch, iPad, and HomePod. It fully supports Apple Watch LTE, and can work when the iPhone is not around - as long as the watch itself has internet access (either LTE or WiFi).
＊ The app lets you monitor and control HomeKit thermostats like Ecobee, and functions largely the same with them as it does with Nest, except for the Siri Shortcuts functionality which is not needed with HomeKit. It lets you see your thermostat info on the Watch complications, and control it using the iOS widget.
_____________
• Using Siri voice shortcuts you can control many aspects of your Nest, such as instant activation of heating or cooling, setting the temperature by saying how many degrees you want to set, increasing/decreasing the temperature, and setting the Home/Away state. Thanks to Thermo Watch, It's all finally just one casual "Hey Siri" away, all with informative visual and verbal feedback.
• From the watch face, tap on the Thermo Watch complication to open the app. Spin the Digital Crown, or Swipe up/down to adjust the temperature. You can start adjusting the moment the app opens.
• On your iOS device you can see the thermostat info on the home screen widget, you can swipe to the widget panel to adjust the temperature on the interactive widget, or you can just open the app. Again, you can start adjusting the moment the controls appear.
• From your Apple TV, open the app, and swipe up/down on the remote to change the temperate.
The app is fully functional with an initial purchase. The in-app purchases are used only for giving a tip to the developer.
The app will let you know with a chime and a tap, that the thermostat has received and applied your command.
Monitor your Thermostats and Home/Away status right from the watch face, using complications that update in the background, without having to launch the app.
You can use Siri on your iPhone, Watch, iPad, or HomePod to control any of your thermostats. Record phrases that make most sense to you, such as "Start Heating" or "Make it Cooler". If you have multiple thermostats you can control them individually, by saying for example "Start Heating Upstairs" or "Start Cooling the Living Room".
Visit https://thermowatch.net/siri website for the detailed instructions of Siri operation.
Set Geofence around your home to reliably set the Home and Away state when you come and go.
The app supports multiple thermostats in multiple homes - just swipe left and right on your Watch screen to access them, or see them all at the same time in the iOS Widget and the app. Fahrenheit and Celsius are both supported.
Beyond that, you can press the Watch screen firmly for additional functions, like switching to a heating or cooling mode, setting the away status, choosing the active temperature sensor, or turning the fan on and off.
While the app's minimalist looks betray the simplicity of its operation, what they don't show is the amount of planning, design, development and refinement that went into it, ensuring it becomes something that is enjoyable to use and experience.
Thermo Watch does not collect any of your data. Your login information, thermostat settings, and any activity - all of it flows exclusively between your devices and Nest. Author of Thermo Watch does not receive any of it, at any point.
This app and its developer are unaffiliated with Google Inc. or Google Nest. Nest is a trademark of Google Inc.
What's New in Version 15.8
＊ iOS Home Screen widget now has interactive controls on the Mid, and Large sized Widget: Start/Stop Heating/Cooling are now available with one button press on the widget.
＊ Full screen support for the Series 7 watches.
＊ Siri Shortcuts on the watch should no longer repeatedly ask to Allow shortcut to run actions. Shortcuts on the watch work best when the watch is on its own on LTE, or when the phone is nearby to provide good network speed.
＊ Watch complications should now update correctly, and they are tied to iOS Home Screen Widget updates. Please make sure to have Thermo Watch Home Screen Widget enabled on your phone if you wish to have watch complications update in the background.
＊ In the iOS app settings, you can set the Low Temperature Warning. This feature requires Thermo Watch Home Screen Widget to be enabled on your phone. With this enabled, the app will send you a notification when the home temperature drops below specified threshold. Useful if you have a furnace that works unreliably, and reports that it's heating, when it's in fact not.
＊ The app can now detect if the thermostat is in Temperature Holding state, and offer to end the hold so that you can change the temperature.
＊ Fix for the app not always correctly switching from Off mode to Heat for some users. Thanks to Will who reported this!
If Thermo Watch has changed your home experience for the better, please consider giving a small tip using the Tip Jar option from the app's menu.

The missing link!
I've been looking for an app that will do this quickly and easily and couldnt be more delighted. Flawless on my watch, Apple TV, Mac and iPhone. Very fairly priced. Simple and easy to use interface on all devices. Brilliant app !

No hot water control
I bought this app as it says you can have full control over your nest thermostat. Whilst this is true for heating, I am disappointed to see that hot water cannot be controlled. I would like to be able to enable/disable/boost hot water. This should be made clearer in the description of the app. Can this feature be added?
2022-04-04
Excellent app
A great app that allows two Nest devices to be managed from both phone and watch. Perfect
2022-03-23
Great app and great dev
Have used this app since it came out. Now with HomeKit support it is even better. Developer is very friendly and responds to questions / suggestions. Five well deserved stars.
2022-03-10
A fantastic app!
I am so pleased to have discovered this amazing app! As a long time Nest Thermostat user, I had become frustrated with the ever increasing unreliability and unpredictability of the Nest app since the Google takeover. Every update to the app seemed to make things worse. I was seriously thinking of looking for a replacement thermostat, and then I found Thermo Watch on the app store.
It looked as if it could be the answer to all my problems but I had a few questions. I emailed Marko (the developer) and was surprised and delighted to receive a reply within a couple of hours. This happened with a couple more questions before I decided to install the app.
The app has exceeded all my expectations- it controls the thermostat with a much improved interface, the home/away feature works reliably, and the Watch and Siri functionality is great. I still need to keep the Nest app installed on my phone for some occasional functions such as changing schedules, but Thermo Watch provides all the day to day operational functionality. I thoroughly recommend Thermo Watch to all Nest thermostat users.

Problems
Was ok for one year now dead
2021-02-08
Superb
A superb app, with great support. Had a problem, due to a bug with Apple watchOS. Dev was very responsive and sorted it straight away. Features are great, and it’s excellent to have a Nest complication on my watch face. Thanks!
2021-02-04
Perfection
Such a great app! I mainly use this for the AppleWatch functionality, particularly the excellent complications. However the iPhone app is equally good. The iPhone widget has pride of place on my main Home Screen. Great, prompt support too. Keep up the great work!
2021-01-10
Was working. now broken
This is a great little app and was working fine. But now it gives an SSL or missing host name error when I try to change the temperature making it largely useless.
Still works via my phone - it’s control via my watch which has broken.
Update: after deleting the app, changing my DNS to Google’s 8.8.8.8 and reinstalling and restarting everything it works again. Excellent customer support!

No hot water control
I bought for the specific reason to automate hot water control. But it’s missing
2020-12-19
Does its job really well easy to use great look
Great app, does exactly what it says on the tin really easy to use really well set up to be honest this is better than the native nest app I would prefer to use this it is clearer has better graphics and seems to work just as quickly
2020-11-23
New Widget
Not a fan of the new widget seems to have removed functionality
2020-11-23
Amazing app
Used this app for a while now, great communication from developer. 5* indeed
2020-11-18
Does not work on Apple Watch!
I’ve been looking for a watch app to control my Nest thermostat for some time, and this seemed to fit the bill. It’s advertised as compatible with Watch OS 7 but it does not work. The iOS app is great, but it isn’t what I need - the watch app is. I’m not happy with a paid app that doesn’t work!
UPDATE
Finally got it connected to the watch after multiple reinstalls of the app. Opening the watch app takes about 10 seconds before you can adjust the temperature, meaning it would be quicker to walk to the thermostat and adjust it directly. The complication does not show anything other than some lines, there is no temperature sun display as would be expected.
2020-08-17
Watch Thermostat Control
Use mostly for the great Watch App which is very easy and just works to set the temperature straight from my watch screen (added as a complication). App works well too (shame it does not control the hot water as well - I assume this is limited by Google?). Nice to use something that has clean interface and does the job (despite Google’s attempt to completely ruin the Nest range of products by their takeover).
2020-05-20
Fantastic app and an even better, responsive developer who is just a decent person!
I got this app around a year ago, or just over. At the time the Nest E wasn’t supported, not because the developer didn’t add it but because Nest, (now Google), didn’t open the API. Marko (the developer), responded to my email within 24hrs, and has been in contact on and off since. He emailed me this week to let me know that logging in with my Google account using my Nest E is now possible and furthermore to add the cherry to the cake he told me he enabled VoiceOver support! Imagine any other developer once you have paid your little amount that this app costs contacting you one year later to be nice and let you know the reason you bought the app that is to use it with SIRI and your Apple Watch, now works.... I would argue many don’t do this, also many don’t go out of their way to add accessibility support. Sure some might add it by accident or just cover the basics. I am a huge supporter of this app, and Marko the developer because I’m a real person who has had an awesome experience and been treated like a person and not just a customer. Marko if you are ever in Ireland you have my email, shoot me a mail and I will meet you and treat you to dinner and a few pints!

Sign in with Google
Nice one mate. You can now sign in with a google account.
2020-02-21
Excellent App
Had a problem with logging onto the App which the developer quickly resolved and then talked me through setting up a new version. Can not believe I am now controlling my heating from my watch! Cannot praise highly enough the patient helpfulness of the developer - the sort of customer support you wish every large company had! Anywho - a great App - a must have for anyone with a nest!
2020-01-20
Not able to sign in via api key or google
Updated review
Developer send me a new app and all works as expected no more nasty log outs like I had with the nest app. This app works 100% and developer response was quick and efficient !
Top marks from me.
I am unable to use the app.
While trying to sign in with api key it says I
Been logged out. My nest account has been migrated to google which is a pain now I am not able to use the api
2020-01-20
Quick and easy to use
The app is really easy to use and connected with no issues to my existing nest. Since quick connect and skylark are no longer on the app store this so is filling an essential part of my home automation allowing me to geofence are around my home to set the best to home and away automatically.
I would love to be able to have this handle 2 or more people at home to allow it to only activate when the home geofence area is empty of users.
Great work and hopefully add google move to the new app the developer will be able to port over to the new api.
2020-01-08
Great app with great support
Only recently become an Apple Watch user so never experienced the Best watch app which they discontinued.
This app fills the void left by Nest and QuickControl! It’s a slick app, great functionality and the developer provides great support! The geofencing works better than Nest and I understand support for multiple users is being developed.
A great app, super useful complications, and really makes the most of the watch features. Highly recommend.
2019-12-22
So so
Purchased due to Quick Control no longer being supported by Nest. This does an ok job but doesn’t seem to like it if there is more than 1 of you using the app to track your home/away status. For example, if I am in and my wife goes out, the thermostat gets set to away, even though I am home. Same if my wife is in and I go out. It’s great the developer reads comments here and takes action where possible - shows a desire to improve the app in future releases which I look forward to
2019-12-17
Excellent app
Developer helped me to login using my google account but still in beta testing stage hopefully fully working soon thanks again
2019-11-23
For people coming from Quick Control, this works
Quick Control was a similar app for geofencing which broke with Nest’s recent updates where they disallowed plugins. This works still!
2019-10-28
Much more useful than Nest App
What a great App - adds the useful features the official App doesn’t support. Only wish would be control to boost the heating.
2019-09-09
Just says error and I’ve paid to download!??
Paid for this and it just says error.. how do I get refunded?
2019-05-18
Great app
Thanks for keeping us updated with the google situation.
2019-05-06
Great nest app
Great app does everything that is need only thing I don’t see is that there’s not Siri shortcuts for boosting the water
2019-01-05
Siri Doesn’t Work
Hi I’ve just installed the app and the Siri commands don’t work on my iPhone ?
2018-12-25
Honestly this does not offer much
Unless I am missing something this is so basic. The screen shots are misleading. I await to be impressed then I will re review.
2018-11-30
Brilliant
And thank you for help
2018-11-12
Excellent complications
Works very well and makes use of the complications on the new Series 4. Used it for a few weeks now where it had worked flawlessly; had an issue over the weekend and the developer quickly responded and advised that the issue was with the Nest servers, rather than this app. Now fully up running, working perfectly. Great app, with great support.
2018-11-05
No longer working
Edit. All working again. Thanks.
Tried to use my shortcut to turn the heating on only to get an error on get target temperature from clipboard. I open Thermo watch app and it just constantly loads. I uninstalled, restarted iPhone and tried again. Still stuck loading. Please fix ASAP.
2018-09-29
Does everything the nest app should
First off I must say how helpful the developer is I made a request and less than a week it was done with great communication also.
The app works great with Siri shortcuts to make the Nest thermostat work the way it should. It’s a very responsive app load times are quick.
The watch app on the Apple Watch series 4 works very well and the complications look great on the new watch faces.
Worth every penny of the purchase price.
2017-09-15
Love it!
This app is easy to use. Please make it work with Amazon fire TV too!
2016-09-15
Gets better and better!
I tried Thermo Watch as a Nest controling solution before Nest brought their own Apple Watch support. I had expected Nests own would be better but I was wrong! This app delivers, doing one job very well and the updates and improvements keep coming.
2016-06-26
This is the one to choose, forget the rest!
The app displays the data from your nest thermostat in a simple, almost apple like way. Having trying a few of the other apps in the app store I much prefer this one. The simple complication displays the set to temp, while the detailed complication displays, set to temp - ambient temp and humidity.
The only feature I thinks missing is the ability to control your hot water on/off just as you can in the nest app. Hopefully the developer will add this in a future update.
***If you're looking for an app that just works with a clean none fussy interface then this is the app for you.***
2016-04-05
Brilliant
This app is what Nest should have had in the first place. I have had no issues with this at all.
