I can't get excited about any of this home tech stuff. It's more to go wrong and for my family, when there is usually someone at home for at least 18 hours of each day, turning the heating off and on during the day is a waste of time.
I also believe that keeping the heating on the whole time is likely to be more efficient (as heat is absorbed into the brickwork which then act as a heat sink) and stops condensation mould from growing.
The real tech is in the construction of wholly efficient buildings so that the peripheral tech (such as Hive) is fully integrated rather than an add-on. That means buildings which need very little heating in the first place.
