@konastab01 well spotted, I rather avoid touching the boiler 🥶 @aggi great! Are you happy with it? Did you get radiator valves too? If you did do you need a temperature sensor on the radiator or does the valve include one?
frankohara-
Yeah I’ve done it a few times(maybe hundreds) 😂

It's fine. Not as smart as some of the others, doesn't do learning schedules or things like that, but let's you set up schedules and control remotely via phone, internet, Alexa, etc and a few other things.
I don't have the valves but pretty sure they have a temperature sensor built in

I'm pretty sure, but not 100%, if you're planning on replacing that thermostat with a hive one you'd also need to get power to it (so I think they're normally wired in at the boiler).
I replaced a thermostat like that with a netatmo smart one as you only needed the two wires and no power.
