Anyone on here using netatmo to control their heating? Servers are down again this morning, the third time in a week, so I'm thinking of switching to either Hive or Tado. Has anyone got experience of both and if so, is one better than the other or are they similar in terms of functionality. Netatmo is still following the schedule, but I often boost it via the app, especially during cold spells like we're experiencing recently, so I need something reliable.
 
Same problem here. Servers overloaded is my guess. Never had an issue in the 3 or 4 years we've had the thermostat but presumably everyone is messing with their schedules/manual boosts a lot this year which is causing server issues.
Not sure why it has to be cloud based to be honest, but they need to do something. I was thinking of getting the smart trv's but this has made me consider moving away completely.
 
If you need to boost it, aren;t you in the house and can just do it manually this time?
At the time no, but yes you can boost it via the thermostat, but not with the level of control the app gives you i.e an end time for the boost. Some have reported the thermostat wasn't connecting to the receiver but I didn't have that issue.
