I've an old (50yrs) oil boiler that is manually switched on and off using a light switch outside the boiler room. The only thermostat is the one built into the boiler. This is usually set fairly high and never touched. The light switch is use to switch on and off the boiler as heat is needed.

Ideally (to minimise the need for wires) I would like a freestanding thermostat that i can put into a room. When that thermostat reads "low" it will trigger the boiler to turn on.
Maybe this will require replacing the light with a receiver from the thermostat that will turn on and off the boiler. SO ideally the thermostat and receiver would communicate wirelessly,....
And if all my wishes were to come through I would be able to access the thermstat and switch on my phone

Are such gadgets / tech. available? If so, any recommendations would be much appreciated.
I'm UK based
