Recommended central heating timer?

[Brother D]

My current timer was stuck on, and could only be restored by powering off at the mains, so I think it's time for a new one.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a 7 day/2 Channel, back-lit programmable timer?

From looking around it appears they should be on a common back plate but wondered if anyone had a recommendation? Would love one I could remotely monitor, but it needs to be reliable more than anything...

Thanks in advance

HI,

I am going to be installing a NEST thermostat when it comes to the UK https://nest.com/thermostat/life-with-nest-thermos...

There is something called Tado too, not sure what that is like, but worth a google.

I have a Nest in the US - and you won't be disappointed (can't beat turning on the heat from your bed in the morning!)

But I need one for my UK flat and something that is decent and reliable as will be renting out
