When does your Heating usually go on?

If he turns up with a Hive he will be asking where your broadband hub is where he can plug it in. Lol

I have internet when I'm home

Just not when I'm out. My other devices don't suffer from this set up. My soundbars connect no issue on and off. A smart thermostat should be ok..

If he can plug the hub in to your home router you should be ok, I'm not sure if the hub is wireless.

You will need a control unit hard wired I think, they put one in my airing cupboard replacing my honey well controller but I only ever look at the lights on it and control everything from my phone.

Did you specifically ask for a Hive? I hope you did if you want one.

This is what I have which is specific for a system boiler setup.

I don't mind what I get if I'm honest because I know very little about these devices. If the gas man turns up with a keep it simple stupid smart thermostat I'll be equally as happy as getting an all bells and whistles flagship device.

I asked for the best so it'll be interesting what he decides. I did say all bells and whistles. He took a quick look at my set up, asked me some questions then off he went happy as a Larry.

Questions,
Are you getting heat
Are you adjusting the trv
Is the water ok
Heating generally working away from the thermostat issue
Radiators getting hot
Temperature of the heating on the boiler

All of which I could answer phew! I told him no to another dial thermostat. So that's definitely not happening.

I like that display you have. Very nice

Did he not ask you on cost? He's not going to buy a really expensive smart thermostat in case you have a heart attack on the price and fitting costs, so he will likely just get you a Honeywell digital without a dial and you will be happy.
