Basic wifi heating control

Could anyone recommend a heating control that can be controlled from a phone when away from the home. I don't need any 'smart' features, literally, an On/Off when away and some basic controls when in the house. Is anything available apart from Nests, Hives, Draytons etc ?

If its only to turn on/off the heating and the same with any motorised valves controlling the heating zones then the likes of Tapo smart plugs will work on their App and allow a schedule as well.

Climote will do the job. It has its own chip so works even when wi-fi is down. Some energy providers give this away free of charge for new customer. At least they used to.
