I've been using the Drayton for approx 8 years, never had a problem can do everything remotely from the app and can control the temp through Google home as well.

We have both GW01 and GW03 (different houses) for 3/4 years and have been very satisfied with both. We use them for precisely the purpose you outline i.e. remote boost.
