Wow, that really is just a switch. No power to it so most of the usual "smart" things won't work. I'm sure there some battery powered device that would do it.

Looks like you can replace it with a bog standard thermostat like this

What's at the boiler end in terms of connection boxes and timers. That's more important than the thermostat really

You'd need to check what wires are underneath but most of these things are just a temp sensor and a circuit that turns on / off when the sensor is above / below the set thing.
That means that you should be able to easily swap it out for something metric or smart of whatever.
