Replace a Climote with a better remote control - Heatmiser neoHub?

    At the moment, I have partial remote control of the heating in my house through the Climote app; but with the Climote I can only turn the UFH "zone" on or off 3 times per day and then the resulting temperature in each UFH zone depends on the local programming on each sensor in the 3 UFH zones.... it's all a bit awkward.

    I'd like to replace the Climote, and probably the sensor in each UFH zone. The current sensors in each UFH zone are QPL brand and the UFH controller is a QPL UH3. I'm hoping I don't have to replace the QPL UH3 because it looks costly and has a lot of connections.

    The functionality I would like to have is being able to set a temperature in each UFH zone; have a schedule for the upstairs radiators/immersion and make remote changes with an app. Bonus points if I can add controls for individual radiators in future.

    I thought I might find the answer in the Heatmiser range, but I'm not really sure if they have a product that controls UFH, radiators and hot water all heated through a single gas boiler. Maybe the NeoKit 2?

    Ultimately, I'm looking for someone to fit this all once I've decided what to buy, so PMs with recommendations/advice are welcome.

    I think I have this sorted now. Might be a month or two before I get the work done, but will be going with the NeoKit 2 after all, and won't need to replace the UH3.
