Yes, I can see why you might find that useful if you have storage
heaters.  Personally, though, my priority would be to get rid of the
useless things!

Now unfortunately I have storage heaters, which meansn that they will
provide no heat until the early morning. Now, if the following day is warm
(a situation quite common on our small island), then the overnight heating
will have been for nought. So surely if I know (or my home automation
system knows) what the temperature will be tomorrow then I/it can set the
heating accordingly. Proactive vs. retroactive.
