Title: Message
These types are OK for just setting a temperature in a particular zone or room - once it's reached they switch.  What they don't allow is the ability to have 15C overnight, 20C in the morning, 18C during the day and say 21C in the evening (unless you want to keep pressing buttons at the appropriate time).  Of course, you'd need some way of controlling the radiator flow in each room to do that. 
 
 <<100% Correct ... however I definitely subscribe to the "If someone rips it's guts out then it has to still work" camp and so I would be using these to switch an electric radiator valve directly without necessarily using HV to monitor and control temperature at all ... I'm very conscious of leaving something that the next owner can use easily and I don't want to present them with HV and a programming manual! I use HV to add functionality to an existing subsystem but the subsystem itself must be able to work on its own.>>
