Upgrade existing Zoned Heating

    I have a ‘simple’ 3 zoned heating system. i.e. Hot water and 2 heat zones (Living / Bedrooms).
    I have a walled thermostat in each zone and central Controller (EPH) which is wired to 3 actuator valves in the hot press.
    (e.g. 1 valve turns on heat to the bedroom zone)

    I have manual radiator TRV valves on each radiator.

    I’m thinking of doing a mini upgrade to the bedroom zone to give more control for each room.
    Could I just upgrade the bedroom radiator TRV’s to wireless TRV’s & upgrade only the bedroom actuator valve in the hot press ?
    That should work with my existing system ?
    IF so are there any recommendations on which wireless TRV /actuator I might use ?

    There are some great sounding systems out there, like Tado with wireless trv's, geofencing, etc. You can even use room occupancy sensors, Humidity sensors, Open window detection... the list goes on.

    But there is no system that can predict what time I feel like going to bed. Sometimes even I don't know what time I am going to get up. So how smart does a system have to be to predict that?

    With what you have you currently have, good common sense is going to save you more than any of those above.
