Hi,
The standard Drayton two-channel central-heating timer unit lacks
desired functionality. Using a Pi, or an MCU development board, was
mentioned. https://www.crowdsupply.com/makeopenstuff/hestiapi-touch is
fund raising for a Pi-based, four relay, LCD screen, controller.
Overkill for what I want, but interesting that others are trying to
avoid the off-the-shelf Google Nest, etc., solutions.
If you are offered one of these:

Run a mile. Don't let British Gas fit it. I stopped my British Gas service
agreement and am using a local company now. They said they hadn't seen this
one. I find it a pain to program and change. It's a BG branded product.
