I think the Honeywell is echo compatible @Dan Robinson?

Bit generous with the praise thank you but yes the Linea One is OT, have one on BeSmart myself at home. Monitor system pressure etc from app, reset boiler.
No idea about echo.
If the original poster want to see besmart in operation pm me and I'll give him the temporary password to one in rigged up to demo by the company or a Linea One in my training room on which I leave the gas off so nobody can fire the boiler but to all other intents and purposes it's working.
Appreciate the feedback, so bottom line I'm not gonna get the hive to work with this current system? I'll have a look into the thermastats Phill Peck has suggested

You can get hive to work by removing the OT.
The boiler will be able to accept 230v switching also.
However OT is far more advanced than on/off and if you have the option to use it then you should.
Hive is decent kit I had one until recently when I changed my boiler to one which is OT, I then changed to the Honeywell lyric.

I'll have a look into it tomorrow, thanks for the help
Evohome is Echo compatible, although why you'd want to voice control Heating is beyond me (and we field tested the Voice controller).

I work for Vokera, we wouldn't support another brand OT control on the boiler officially but I'll help and be interested in how you get on.
Two things first on any OT control on the Linea One, open the boiler control box cover to see whether there's an unconnected ribbon cable, about 1/2" wide, this will be needed for OT, sometimes it's not included with the boiler. You'll also need a small interface board to control it OT. I can get you the part numbers Monday.
OT wires and the ribbon cable go into the interface board. That's it basically. Ribbon cables included in the box in which the board comes should be discarded.
If you have facebook look for the Vokera BeSMART group, there's an instruction sheet I wrote for the Linea One.

I cant see why you wouldn't want to, your not loosing anything compared with a traditional thermastat only gaining an extra feature which you can pick and choose when it's suitable to use it
Because regular interaction with heating controls is a terrible way to use the system. They should be programmed and left to operate under their own logic. Unless you live a crazily random schedule.
No
Yes
Evohome base unit can be a thermostat.
If you want two zones, you can use the DT92e's you have or just one with hte base unit as the other. You'll need two BDR91's to power open the zone valves (one comes with the Evohome unit) and the OT bridge to connect to the boiler.
Would take me an hour or two to install commission and test if I were doing it.

I have it Dan and it does come in handy. How else can I look like a pretentious c0ck down the pub!?

Thanks Dan, excuse my ignorance on this but how but how does my current Sundial Pack connect to boiler with the OT?
