Also take a look for the new Honeywell CM controls range - designed for
wireless operation and includes programmer/boiler controller, room stats
with a table mount if you don't want to wall mount, and perhaps more
interestingly there are also wireless radiator actuators that replace the
standard thermostatic head with a battery powered actuator with built in
programmer from what I've seen. I don't know if it offers any hope for
remote control via 3rd party systems (I doubt it), but it offers a solution
without running any wires.
