I looked into this, but I quickly realised I never use my Thermostat.

My heating is controlled by a time-switch that directly enables the boiler in the morning and at night, and as far as I know this is how most people I know operate.

We do have thermostats but they are largely ignored boxes that sit in the hallway and/or landing.

Is this just something to do with living in a cold country? I would have thought a nest equivalent that directly operates the boiler would have been a better device ...
