The only way I would use a smart stat was if the boiler has the receiver and the stat can go anywhere. I was looking into it and my boiler would allow it but often older boilers would have to have the stat wired in one place.

In my house the wired stat is in the hall which is the most stupid place of all because as you know hot air rises up the stairs making it impossible to set a temp and it holds that temp in my living room which is where i would want a stat if anywhere. The only benefit I would have had was not having to get up to constantly have to moderate the living room temp


Thankfully all became moot with the price increases and no using heating anymore so did not follow it up
