I purchased this to replace my existing Hive thermostat, which worked brilliantly, but I was under the impression that this Halo unit utilised OpenTherm and could modulate the boiler. Installation was a breeze with my new Ideal Combi, simply pop out the front plate, pop the controller in, run through the directions on the app, all done within 5 mins. I'm not certain that it is an improvement over my Hive and appears to be "dumb" like the Hive was in that you set a temp, it gets to that temp, turns off the boiler, waits for the temp to drop, then turns on the boiler again. This makes the room temperature see-saw up and down somewhat. Having spoken with Ideal prior to my purchase, I was led to believe that it would modulate the boiler flow and maintain the room temp without the see-saw action, alas, thus far, I have not seen any evidence of this. Had I known that it didn't do what I was expecting it to, I would have opted for the Tado unit, which was substantially cheaper! On a more positive note, it fits the boiler perfectly well, and looks good on the front. It also shows any error codes on the thermostat itself, not that I'm expecting to see any hopefully!!
