The market is full of wireless thermostats making this very difficult to research.
I just want to change my Danfoss FP715 central heating control to an alternative unit that I can access remotely....any solutions?
Trying to avoid the expensive Nest/Hive.

All the functions of your control unit being controllable via your phone
is a rather more complicated matter than altering a thermostat.

Not really.
I built this a few weeks ago
http://www.hestiapi.com/home

My prototype looks like this.

It's more compact than the developers, because I used a pi Zero, and a
wallwart PSU instead of accomodating it in the case.

It uses a web browser interface.

You can change the room temp setpoint and alter the on off shedule
remotly. If I had designed it the DHW channel would be identical to
the CH with its own 1-wire sensor on the HW cylinder, as it stands I
can't fathom out the software to make changes.

Total cost to build, less than £10, that ****ed off some Hive owners I
know.

Quite. But probably wouldn't help with my boiler which is already
microprocessor controlled.

It does have a buss to allow connection to extra zone controllers which
can also switch the heating and hot water to standby, though. Or alter the
on/off times and so on. But no idea if that uses a standard protocol.
