There's the UK-based OpenTRV (Thermostatic Radiator Valve).

Their mailing list has gone quiet so I don't know current status (they have 
working prototypes) but the product is open source control for individual 
radiators (the valve) with a central hub.
"On the radiators, you screw on a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) that can be 
switched on and off by radio. The OpenTRV control unit is a separate small box 
with just a couple of buttons and a single LED. It senses the temperature and 
whether anyone is in the room and if it decides or is instructed to heat up the 
room, signals the TRV on the radiator to open up. There is another OpenTRV unit 
attached to the boiler and when that unit hears the call from an OpenTRV unit 
to its radiator, switches on the boiler to provide hot water."

Probably not grant-approval ready but not vapourware and seem approachable from 
past on mailing list.
