I use Vera home automation. I have temp sensors and thermostats connected as well as my lights, motion sensors and door locks. It runs on the internet.

I can directly control all 5 heat pumps and 4 oil zones. But best of all is the programming features. For example while away the system checks the sensors and depending on the outside temp will run a variety of decisions such as "heat pump priority " where the oil zones are set low and the heat pumps take over. Vice versa for "oil heat priority", where i set the oil on when its really cold outside.

Vera (getvera.com) was an investment in time and initial frustration, but having run versions of it for almost 10 years its been great to have. We have them in both houses.

Oh and no monthly fees![emoji3]
