Hive geo fencing is currently arrive home/leave so is a bit weak to rely on for random schedules. The web and app interfaces are good for managing random schedules, mine is randomish but by Friday afternoon I generally know what the following week will be so I can go on t'internet and set it really easily.

Hmm, did not know that, actually. Thought it was a bit more like Tado: https://www.tado.com/gb/blog/using-tado-geolocation-feature
Edit: maybe I will shell out the extra on Tado. God dammit!

Think almost all the systems now offer geofencing, either natively or via a third-party app - probably the best thing for a random schedule. You can set it up to start warming up when you are X miles from home; think some are more advanced, learning how long it will take to get up to your prescribed temperature, taking into account the weather forecast (or even taking a reading from your personal weather station, if you have one). Many also integrate with IFTTT so you can create recipes which account for anomilies in your schedule. Like most tech you can take it to the Nth degree!
