Hive, Wiser or What?

We have been around this question before but it would be good to get updated advice on choices and people's experiences.

• I want remote control of the heating, and possibly hot water.
  
• The use is extremely random with no regular leave or arrive times
  
• The thermostat should be moveable, battery powered because when the woodburner is going we have to move the stat away.
  
• I don't want geofencing. That would require a phone to be active all the time - also we may approach the house on foot, bike, car, train+bike or ferry+bike. The train and ferry options bring us within 2 miles of the house before stopping further away. Basically I don't think any geofencing can help.
  
  

The options seem to be:
Hive
Netatmo
Honeywell Lyric wireless model
Drayton Wiser multizone 2

The Drayton seems attractive, it fits over existing wiring and if I buy rad thermostats later it can give room zoning effect and react to wood burners being on or off.
As far as I can see Nest and Tado require a hard wired thermostat which I don't want.
