Hi there. I recently moved into a new house and the heating system is unwieldy. There are six separate elements to control:
I would ultimately like to bring the control of all of the above under one roof with a single controller (whether this is some physical unit or an interface on a phone, or both). If I can’t do that then I would at least like to be able to move some of the above onto a ‘smart’ footing. Ideally I would be able to have everything within one app on my/my wife’s phone, to be able to programme when everything turns on and to be able to remotely control things from outside the house. I’ve taken a few snaps of the various units, which I will link rather than post as I’m not sure that they add much. The boiler is a gas combi – a Worcester Greenstar 42CDI Classic. It is controlled by a Drayton Digistat +2RF. The underfloor heating is controlled by a Honeywell CM927 wireless programmable thermostat. The boiler and the various wiring underneath it for the two thermostats looks like this: 1, 2, 3 The main bathroom has a control unit for the floor made by ‘Warmup’, a fuse trip-switch and a plug which controls the towel rail. The en suite controls are limited to a plug which controls the towel rail and a ‘thermonet’ controller for the floor (with an associated fuse and switch). Anyone have any ideas of where to start with trying to get all of this under one system (or as few systems as possible)?

Anyone have any ideas? Or should I be asking elsewhere?

Are you looking for an out of the box solution or building a system based off micro controllers? There is a ton of info out there to make IoT Arduino/Pi based thermostats and power controllers.

Ideally an out of the box solution. Micro-controllers are well beyond my abilities but I could always pay someone who knows what they're doing if that's the solution.

Might get more responses posting in the fix-it-fast thread; DIY posters are quite siloed into megathreads.

I haven't messed with this complexity myself but I did use 2 ecobees and IFTTT in my old house. Perhaps a similar setup with some smart plugs for the heated towel racks could work for you with minimal hacking?
