[QUOTE="brummydave, post: 533568, member: 18490"] There's several concepts. The main one is to save money by making it easier to control the heating temperatures. A programmer only sets times and therefore cannot be as efficient as a programmable thermostat that optimises the heating curve. (These have existed for decades in non-smart forms). Smart systems can link in to weather compensation, geofencing and as I said in the case of Nest, actually reduce bills without you realising. The ability to remotely control each radiator can both save energy and increase comfort when used properly. I think some people will show off / share their gadgets / excitedly encourage others to improve their lot, with many aspects of life not just cameras and stats :) I just leave them be. [/QUOTE]
