With all the recent posts about "how do I....." on these systems and as the title, if you have been installing either or both of these control systems, do you rate one over the other?
 
I’ve fitted both and am now a Nest pro installer.
Personally I think the Nest thermostat still has the edge over the Hive and others with their advanced features and far better technical support.

Plus buying a Hive is putting money in British gas’ pockets.
 
Thanks Dave. I’ve done a couple of Nest installs and have to say I was quite impressed with the system. I’ve had some “which do you recommend” questions, but with only installing Nest, I didn’t feel able to offer advice.

I have a Nest at home and TBH I like the interface and options you get with it. And as davesparks has said, no money in BGs pocket.

I’ve installed two of the salus units a few years ago and found them to be very basic compared to the Nest, they didn’t even have any home/away assist, automatic schedule setting or true radiant equivalent system!

anyhow I read up a little on nest and hive thermostats and apps and both seem good
 
Have installed both. Prefer the nests for same reasons as above.
I have had my one since they came out, great bit of kit.
Has anyone tried nests fire alarm detector?
