Hive !!

If you want to get in on the act BG will supply only for £159 or heatmiser are about to launch one.

Why do they say on the site £199 including fitting (worth £80)

and then sell it on its own for £159, surely it should be £199 - £80 = £119

Eer it's BG nemesis of ronseal.

Does nothing like what it says on tin (van)

Well, they see that we are becoming gadget freaks, so there is the market for one up-manship. Do we need it absolutely not, there is plenty of products out there that will suffice, you do not need it on the phone or pc. I just can't wait to meet someone who actually has this & when they styart to boast, then that will be my time to tell them they could have given their money to the poor & done something useful.

I fit these for BG and find customers young and old who love technology are asking to have them fitted.They are easy to install and the stat looks very good and modern. Easy to fit with or without existing controls and link up with I phones, I pads etc. people see it as a great price as buying a decent remote state alone is not far off the fitted price. Time will tell but I think this will become more the norm in the future when you think the younger generation virtually live on these mobile devices.

PTS are running the 'OWL' system, which looks quite good, Trying to see if I can blag one as a 'Test subject' priced me up one for a combi, so unit to connect to modem and programmable stat to replace standard wall one, came in under £130 inc.

6 hours to flush system & fit new boiler, 8 hours pulling your hair out trying to get the wireless stat working through the modem, phoning up aol technical in India... Ahh!!!

There was a spot on this on breakfast TV a few days ago, gone are the days of mechanical timeclocks or getting up to put the heating on :lol:

"While hive is busy controlling your heating at home..." Stupid bloody ad, but I can't help whistling along when its on...

Sat here listening to the advert again!!

And Thinking Heatmiser have had one out for a while, Salus also been out for a while, also OWL and Drayton/Danfoss (can't remember which one) have one out. but I can't remember seeing any publicity for any of them apart from the trade counter!
