[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 435814, member: 250"] Two of the biggest waste of space gimmicks in the world.... 1/ Wireless when wireless is NOT needed and wired if far far far far far far more reliable in the long run.. 2/ Remote control of the heating... (if you are not in the house.. why do you want to fart around with adjusting the heat?) A basic timer & thermostat can easily keep the house above a minimum temperature while you are out to take the chill off... any half decent heating system can soon bring rads up to temperature if you just flick the thermostat up a notch.. It takes me all of 2 seconds to move the thermostat as I go out if I want the house to be a bit warmer... 99.999999% of people have very predicable work patterns for the majority of the year.. they know what time they go out to work and they know what time they get back.. My wife finishes work @ 16:00 and is home between 16:15 & 16:30.... Its not rocket science to work out when we need water & heat to come on! and i'd rather use my data allowance on my phone for far more useful things than turning on the hot water.... (notwithstanding those without a hot tank just a combi that heats as you need it anyway) Plagiarising the words of Mr P-Dave.... [U][B][COLOR=rgb(0,0,255)][I]Nobody has yet actually told me what these seemingly very expensive and very complicated hive things actually achieves that is so wonderful that people will pay vast sums of money to have one.[/I][/COLOR][/B][/U] What's the point???
