Smart zone heating systems

Our gas heating system has 3 zones, DHW and rads upstairs and downstairs.

We have three of the manual times switches that we’d like to upgrade to something more advanced and better looking as it’s on the main wall in the kitchen.

From what I understand we need a 3 zone smart heating control system.

Would the systems offered by Electrical Ireland and Bord gais be a good option ?

Do all the timers independently fire the boiler?

OK, sure the Hive (or similar) systems will work.
You will need (for Hive) a multi-zone system consisiting of:

1x Hive Hub (at your internet router)
2x Hive Stats (replacing your upstairs and downstairs stats, these are wireless)
1x Hive Dual Channel Receiver (this will do heating zone and your DHW)
1x Hive Single Channel Receiver (this will do the additional heating zone)

So the hive receivers will fit/replace 2 of the existing timers, and the 3rd will need to be blanked off.
