A big advantage is that the heating control in the hall is right to
hand whe you come in. (I think it's "Luddite" to still be using
separate time and temperature controls! Ferreting around in utility
cupboard or under kitchen units to switch the heating on.

It is always possible to turn the thermostat down to say 5 deg C so
that it acts as a frost stat rather than turning the heating off.

Not unless you alter the wiring! If you *just* turn the stat down, the
heating will *only* come on when the temperature falls below 5 degrees -
which is unlikely to be acceptable!
