Where to begin my digital transformation

    Current central heating system was installed about 20 years and wasn’t exactly cutting edge even then.

    I have a two year old boiler which I presume is still fine. Smart meters were installed in the area a couple of years ago.

    Typical 2 storey house. I have a thermostat on the landing and in one of the reception rooms downstairs (which has now gone kaput). 1st picture below.
    I also have thermostats on most the individual radiators.

    The second photo is of a timer connected to the boiler which controls when it comes on etc.

    I’d like to have greater control of the individual radiators and turn them on/off remotely.

    Any suggestions on how best to proceed? TIA

    Hive do a system that would achieve what you need. There are lots of others makers that also do this.

    thanks for your reply.

    Would I just need hive to replace the thermostats? Would I need something to replace the boiler’s timer as well?

    It's probably best to have it installed. Maybe call into your local electrical or plumbing supplier and ask if they have any recommendations for installers.

    Maybe person who replaced your boiler could do it or recommend someone.
