Timer for 4 pumps on new oil boiler hearing system?

Morby

Just got a new oil boiler installed and it has 4 pumps and requires 4 timers.

I've been given the option of going for either analogue, digital or a WiFi phone operated system, but that's coming in at around €500 so that's a non-runner.

I haven't a clue about these things, all I know is there are 4 pumps and it requires a 4 channel timer?

Analogue seems to be the most dated, so tempted to go with digital, but I do like the idea of being able to control the system with my phone via an app and WiFi but I haven't a clue what I need or what I'm looking for.

Clearly this isn't my area of expertise.

Could one of you lovely knowledgeable folk please help to point me in the right direction of what I should be looking for?

If I was to get a Google Nest would I be better off going with a analogue or digital timers, would this work out cheaper than spending €500 quid on WiFi controlled timers?

Or something similar to the Nest, like Climote or Hive would they work?

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks so much.

Get a eph RF 4 Channel and you can upgrade if needed

Is your system zoned using circulating pumps rather than zone valves?

I expect you need temperature control as well as timed?

What sort of price would you be looking at roughly for that?

What kind of upgrades for it? Something like a smart hub to use over WiFi etc..?

I believe there are 4 circulating pumps and thermostats on each rad.

Sorry I don't know any more than this, I'm clueless at all of this.

If I got something like a Google Nest or Hive heating system would this replace the need to get a 4 channel RF eph?

Sonoff do multi channel wifi switches.
