Smart Thermostats

[CXRAndy]

If your house is well insulated, then keeping the house at a modestly constant temperature is better. Reduces condensation/humidity from letting rooms go too cold.

I asked mine what capital of Turkey was. Never even answered. I don't have a smart meter.

Everyone knows its Athens.

Just fitted a Hive Stat, love it, never know what time i will be home when we go out, so i can turn it on / off from the phone, Don't have to worry about heating a empty house.

Do you have the little box by the boiler green light to indicate on, plus boost buttons for heating snd water...as well as the main Hive stat ?
Ours (the hive stat) has been really good to the the heating on if its turned cold while we're out. Part of me thinks is that it ?...but as we dont generally have the heating on often, its really nice to come home to a warm house when you really need it.

Have a box next to the boiler. Had it a few weeks now. Best bit of kit I have bought this year.

Just live in a mid terrace, and have families with young kids as neighbours on both sides. They turn their heating so high to make up for the cold walls next door, I have to open my windows.

I once had a shop that was directly heated from the house next door. The landlord had split the building, but not the heating .

I have a dumb remote thermostat. My wife thinks that all boilers need to have built in timers. Is that still a feature?

Ours was originally that way, a Satchwell thermostat....and that was it. The joys of a simpler life in some ways, all this tech is great, until it goes wrong or you try to re programme it...gahhhhh
