Hello everyone,
I know there have been other posts about this but they are a few years old.

My standard thermostat for Vaillant ecotec plus 835 has packed up. It was a bacis Drayton.

I have read that the 835 supports modulation and want to utilise it. Vailant have their own SMART thremostats, but was looking for something that I cold then move to anither boiler if I change it out in future.

I know to get it to accept Opentherm I will need a 3rd party board, but the boilder it 8 years old so warranty it out of date anyway.

It would be good to have
1: Weather based heating detection (with an external sensor).
2: Modulation
3: Ability to turn on/off from my phone.

Don't want geofencing or anything with monthly costs.

Tado looks good & apparently Evohome are OK.

Any ideas.
 
Get a Vaillant control then flog it if you get rid of your ecotec. As they're pricey new they usually still sell for a decent amount second hand on eBay.
