Which Thermostat to use

rockhoppers · December 2017

Looking to control my heating using Homey, just temperature setting, home and away settings etc.
If i can set daily programs. (very nice to have but not essential right now)
Finding the choice and limitations a bit confusing.
What would people recommend ?

should have said, current thermostat is hardwired to the boiler.
But happy to look at a boiler switch and a wireless thermostat if that give the best functions.

You could read this blog (in Dutch)

Besides the smart thermostats that are available, you could have a look at Horstmann SRT321 + HRT4ZW

Or SRT323

But those last 2 options are only for On/Off boiler control, not sure if that is how your boiler works now

Thanks Priknr1
Managed to get it in English.
My boiler set up has a heating zone with valve and hot water tank / zone with valve.
So i need to be able to select heating when needed, or hot water. Heating being priority.
Then using a wireless thermostat to call for heat.

Thinking this may work as boiler controller

If so then i need a thermostat, but want to be able to write flows in Homey to set temps depending on house occupancy and outside temp and time of day !

More thought needed !

But then the setup has a valve which is choosing heating/hot water by himself?
So u just need a thermostat for heating?
Plz correct me if am wrong

I have two zone valves because there is a mega flow water tank installed also.
So indirect hot water, using cylinder with coil which hot water output from boiler flows through
