My wireless (433MHz) thermostat
which was installed when I put a new heating boiler in, has a less than wonderful interface, but basically needs touching twice a year. It's bright enough to have four time zones through a day, so I get different temperatures for sleep, wake up, at work, and evening. In late spring I slide the switch to 'off' and the boiler just provides hot water; in autumn I turn it on again.
With no aircon and no complex heat pump system - just hot water radiators - I'm struggling to see a use case.
