Hi, I have a pretty traditional setup with a gas powered boiler for heating and hot water with a single room thermostat which is just a simple dial to set the trigger temp for the radiator heating.
I would like to replace the thermostat with a time controlled one so that I could get it to trigger the boiler to heat the radiators at set times and at set temperatures so overnight at 18 degrees, during the day (weekdays) at 15 degrees and early evening at 20 degrees.
This product looks suitable:

But I wanted to check if I'm over-looking any other relevant products. I'm not really looking for internet control, wifi etc.
My simplistic (possibly overly so!) view is that the current thermostat is just making a circuit that causes the boiler to start heating the radiators (via the programmer which is set to "always on"). So, a new unit with more flexibility is just replacing the outputs so should be an easy swap?
Any help/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Adam
