It can do much more than that implies. R Pi heating controllers and home automation systems are already available. It won't be long before R Pi equivalents of the Evohome, Hive and Nest are available.
As for only measuring the temperature in one location, that's true of any thermostat.

At time of reading a calibrated PT-100 RTD was giving me a reading of 3.087 degrees C.
Ooopppps!!......DIY gas work??!!!
No?
Just taken a photo of my meter so that I can tot up the metres cubed over 24 hours with the heating set to constant on and 20 degrees set point?
Aye right!! Fess up fella!!
You've lost me now.
John posed a challenge and I took him up on it - read a few pages back.
I'm not sure how that could be construed as DIY gas work?
I will not touch gas pipes or anything to do with Gas as I am not trained and value my life and that of my family and neighbours.

@PullerGas Dickie in @bhm1712 defence it is nothing to do with gas works. I challenged all those that think that 24/7 heating is more economical than a timed system. I offered to post up pics of the meter readings for 2 days from 22:00. One with heating timed and one with it 24/7 with only TRV and room stat controls.
@bhm1712 my apologies for not posting sooner as I was busy last night but I did take the reading. I actually didn't take the external temp but it was about 4C so similar to yours. My first test is with it timed, as we normally use it, and with the room stat set to 21C, again as we normally use it.
My system is a combi boiler so there will be additional gas used for hot water consumption but this is a pretty similar pattern in a daily basis so won't skew the results.
It may be interesting to have system details on here too so that it can be seen what controls exist.
Mine is an Ariston Aco 27Kw combi. I removed my nest for this so a standard mechanical room stat set to 21C. Boiler stat set for a flow temp of 70C. My time periods are set to ON/OFF 06:00/08:30 and ON/OFF 15:30/21:00. Rads all have TRVs apart from hall way. 3 story town house 14 years old brick construction with full insulation everywhere. Front and rear elevation is east and west so windows sheltered from sun for the the best part of the day.
Please excuse the crap quality of the picture but it was raining lol. The missing digit from the flash is 5 but that won't change anyway.

No problems !
My system is :
British Gas "330" condensing boiler 24kw.
Flow set also for 70 degrees, Siemens RDJ10RF thermostat set to 20 degrees. It's a 2 story detached house with full cavity wall and loft insulation, 1968 built with brick and tile construction. Front and rear also east and west facing. All downstairs radiators have TRV's and all bar 2 bathroom radiators upstairs have TRV's. Just last month had an auto bypass fitted as was a manual bypass previously which was passing a lot of water directly to return and a removal of a unrestricted joint between flow and return upstairs which has made it all work a lot better!
We also use a gas hob so some gas useage will be the hob.
This first 24 hours for me is on all the time.
