We had our new boiler put in earlier this year, it has 'Hive' which is the control system but a few bells and whistles, such as being able to put your heating on from your car as you approach home from being away.
You can add other stuff to Hive - I bought a light bulb which you can switch on or off from Calis Plaji (other beachfronts are available) - and set it to come on and off automatically each night. But on and off just 3 times each 24 hours.
An update to the app, I always check "What's New" - and wow, what is new is the lightbulb will go on and off independently all evening, you don't even need to program it, they do it all.
So I updated the App. Random feature? £5.99 a month!!
- no thanks
