Afternoon all, So my 1970s house does not have zoned heating and is OFCH running a Firebird Popular 90 boiler Am thinking of replacing the old analog clock time with something similar to a "Hive" setup and would like to know from others with similar setup what they went for, how it is now and who you would recommend to…

Much appreciated

A) Check out the home heating automation thread, start from the back. (I'm a Wiser fan but there are options)

B) Consider putting TRVs on your rads at the same time so you can have pseudozones for better control.
