Worcester Si25 control using Alexa?

[mattylad]

Hi, er indoors has gone and got an Alexa thingymabob, she liked it so Daugther ordered on for her attic room (for intercom use etc.) - then er indoors ordered another for in her sewing room (previously called the "main bedroom").

So now I'm tasked with getting some other things to be controled by voice commands.
Now we have a Worcester Si25 with a digital time on the front. TRV's on all rooms and no thermostat anywhere.

WHat options do I have for controlling the combi boiler?
As cheaply as possible, even just using a smart switch to close a contact to turn it on/off will do.

Bar getting a new boiler (which is on my mind for the coming future) suggestions please?

Do an internet search for Alexa/voice activated thermostat. Pricey though in some instances.

Cheers, so will shorting LR to LS turn the boiler on?

This I can do with a smart relay instead of a thermostat?
We don't have a thermostat and if we did er indoors would turn it right down and glue it there

Yes, without an existing stat, there should be a link wire between the two.
If you have been using the front panel timer, this should also be set to continuous/always on.
