Hi Adam,

Good to hear from you.

I was going to suggest you look at ESP8266 controlled relays when I saw
you were thinking of a PI per radiator, but Tim beat me to it.

I'd not seen the TH16 before though, looks useful to have the option of a
temperature sensor in the same unit.

Of course that might mean you haven't found something you need a PI for
after all, but such is life.

Though if you still want to roll your own software rather than trust to
the cloud offering of an unknown Chinese company then I'd +1 James
suggestion of looking at OpenHAB.

Annoying heating issues aside I hope things are going well in France?

Andy
