Some houses have central heating where one thermostat controls the entire house. My rental which was built 3 years ago has that. That is a case where I think something like nest is affordable and useful.
I'm not a homeowner - is it normal to have this many radiators in a house this size? My 2BR apartment has one thermostat and my parent's 4BR house has one as well.
IIRC, if you do not have central heat, then you have a radiator in every room you want heated. Each radiator is then going to have its own thermostat to control its heat level for that room.
I'm hoping the Zigbee radio they quietly built in will be used for remote sensors. $2500 is unrealistic, but if they offered a $49 remote sensor it would only be $700 in your (highly unusual) case.

Nice, but I'm not spending $250 on a thermostat; I have 10 thermostats in my house.
So... you're wealthy enough to own a house that requires 10 thermostats, but don't want a premium system to control it? :-)
A 4 bedroom 2-story house with radiators in each room. I'm not poor, but we're not talking top 1% here.
