“In fact you could in essence call us a welding, grinding, polishing and assembly business marketing our own products under the OVE® range.”

The Honeywell Single Zone Thermostat is the cheapest of them all, though, and that has an RRP of £139 (UK only), although that’s going to go up if you need a pro to sort it out. Obviously, though, you’re getting what you pay for here because it’s really an app-controlled heating system rather than anything particularly smart.

Plex is a DIY media server, allowing users to access all of their favourite TV shows, movies and music remotely, and on just about any device. The company recently launched an Alexa skill for queuing up and playing media on certain devices, although in a statement to CE Pro Europe Plex confirmed that it was currently exploring whether to bring that functionality to Google Home.

Lastly, there’s the smart home at large. While Honeywell has plenty of clout in the heating world, it doesn’t know an awful lot about door locks or lighting systems or washing machines, ovens, TVs and all the rest. Nest also has a smoke detector and a security camera in its repertoire but, better still is that it’s a gold standard of smart home operation. People make sure that their products work with Nest, like people make sure that their bits and pieces work on iPhone. We don’t see Honeywell catching up with that any time soon.

Weather compensation is another useful feature, as it lets thermostats take advantage of the outside temperature to set the heating to run for the required amount of time. For example, on a hotter day, your boiler can start later to hit temperature; a cold day requires more heat and your boiler to fire into life earlier.

British Gas offers Hive Active Heating, which replaces your existing thermostat with a wireless system and connection to your broadband. Once you have had it installed by a British Gas installer, you will be able to control heating and hot water using the Hive app as well as via the website. It means, like the others, if you want to check the temperature at home and increase it from the supermarket then you can.
