About a year ago, I was looking at a controller from DCD that offered a lot
of what you want - but no HA integration/interface.

At around 320UKP it wasn't cheap, and I went with a Screwfix programmable
timer (a couple of months ago) for 25UKP - this gave me independent HW + CH
control for each day - which the crap Potterton timer installed with our CH
many years ago doesn't.

Perhaps when I move house in the nearish future, I will be able to justify
something similar.  I might even use the forthcoming KAT5-HV control
suite....  just kidding Keith!  :-)
