The free smart meter gives me the current internal temp - I'm with Brit Gas but they should all be rolling them out soon.
This morning I got a power-flush of my radiators as they have been gunking up some part which was giving me false pressure readings, so system would be too high or too low.
I saw the water, phew weee....dark and stormy.
Powerflush and a filter fitted by BG - £800 something. Same price for up to 12 radiators in a house. I spread payments over 6 months. And there's now a guarantee on it.sorry should have replied to @Greenbank

I was in a similar situation with my heating. Combi boiler only had one of those mechanical timers with the in/out tabs so didn't even know which day of the week it was.
Got Hive (2) installed in Sept and am very happy with it. Regularly working late at the moment so it's only scheduled to be on from 6.30-7.45 and 21-22.30. If I'm gonna be home any earlier I just stick it on advance before leaving work.
Zone control would be very useful, I could easily get away with just the bathroom heated in a morning. Am hoping that there might be such a thing as a hive duel-fuel bathroom radiator which you could just schedule to come on electrically rather than bothering the central heating.
