When does your Heating usually go on?

My wife suffers from that one. She thinks that when the heating goes off everything should immediately get cold.

I'm often intrigued by her strange thought processes . . . like when she used to leave the outside (garden) lights on "so the cat can see what it's doing out there in the dark"

I just realised I don't have home broadband, I tether from the device that is with me on my travels so remote control isn't an option. I will still chase an upgrade.

Yeah, a smart thermostat will be useless to you without home broadband when not at home.
