Cental heating thermostat
My electrician removed my boiler timer in error, what can I use to replace it. I hear a hive or Google nest are alternatives. Are they easy ish to Install? Or are there any other suggestions please.
Thanks in advance.

"Depends on what boiler you have. For example if you have a Vaillant, the senso range is good."

"Yes easy to wire in in you know what your doing. Don’t buy Nest as they are pulling out of the uk market and won’t offer support. There is other stats on market also, like EPH, Tado"

"I have to agree with Douglas on this one. I m not a boiler person but recently had a similar problem and my friend which came to rescue me said something very similar.

But plenty others to pick from."
