What do I need to control a church two hall system wirelessly

[Sigurd]

We are currently having a (gas) central heating system installed in the church hall of our Grade 2 Listed Building. Our requirement, from the point of view of controlling it, is the ability to independently run the upper and lower halls at a low temperature when not in use, and increase the temperature of one or both when required. And that needs to be done (in the initial stages) by adjusting times and temperature at the control unit, not by having to go into each hall to adjust the thermostat. In other words the thermostat is set remotely. In the long term, once we have a phone line or perhaps a G4 connection to the internet, we would want to do this setting of time and temperature remotely as the person letting the halls lives a couple of miles away!
What would be good flexible control units that would give this degree of control and future proofing?

I would recommend you talk to the system installers and their spark - there are a variety of products on the market

it's a church. God will provide, but is God a a member of a scam? does he get free membership if he promises Heaven to Tony Cable?

Yes.... But you dont have to pay £400 a year for that one

OP, I assume you have done your extractor fan install and now looking at heating systems? How did the fans go? is everything running as you wanted?
In terms of this i would as already mentioned speak to the heating engineers, heating for big spaces like churches is out of my comfort zones

So tempting to go the Divine Intervention route here, but actually I am extremely interested in hearing the solution...I have a similar scenario for a building to control the heating remotely, so I'm all ears!
(Well, nobody's perfect, right?)

Pirate - thank you for taking my request for information seriously.
Gavin - Fans are pending discussion. And this heating system is for two fairly small halls, not the church. That was done by Dunphy Ecclesiastical who specialise in heating systems for churches (and who made an excellent job of it).
Murdoch - I will be discussing it with engineers but it would be useful to have some prior knowledge

I'm guessing the type of system you're enquiring about might be sold as an add-on by the heating manufacturers so it might be worth posting the same question on the Plumbers Forums. Gas Engineer & Plumbing Advice Forum - https://www.ukplumbersforums.co.uk/

Most obvious option is nest/hive, but others such as heatmiser also have options. The installers will probably have preference as to what they want to use.

It won't take too much to get a modern boiler and heating connected to the Internet with a log in page for phone and tablet
