Silverpac Touch Thermostat
And all this time I thought my thermostat was cool. Little did I know. Today when I was googling for a touchscreen thermostat that was also zigbee enabled I came across this little beauty.
It’s called a it’s called the SilverSTAT 7. From what I can gather it’ll be released around June for about $600. So for those who are home home automation enthusiasts and have a few bucks to throw or for those who just like to drool over the possibility of maybe one day touching such an item, like myself. Here is what you get.
- 7″ Touch Screen
- Built in WiFi
- Z-Wave
- Zigbee protocol
- streaming photos, music and other content
- A full week’s worth of programmable temperature
- weather conditions
- home’s energy consumption
- power usage on a per-appliance
- time management with a calendar and scheduled alarm notices
- stocks
Here are a few more pictures to keep you drooling.
Looks cool! What do you think of the Nest thermostat compared to the SilverPac thermostat? A large dashboard compared to a small dial with touchscreen, based on phone technology?
The SilverStat7 looked cool when it was announced almost two years ago. But since then it looks like the company has gone under or something.
Comparing both the UI’s and functionality i would pick the Nest any day. I hope the people at Nest will release some sort of API. I would really like to integrate it with home automation.
