Wet underfloor heating controllers (feddit.uk)

Just wondered if anyone on here is using a HA compatible one.
Zigbee or Z-Wave would be fine.
Unfortunately, the controllers I got with the main control unit are Heatmiser.
They use Zigbee, but the manufacturer's own implementation which requires buying and running a proprietary hub (and sod that!)
Rather annoyingly, the controllers are pretty functional!
The manifold wiring centre itself (UH4) just works by connecting 240v lines, so shouldn't be too hard to have HA connecting the right loops at the right time.

I've considered just doing this with shelly relays and setting up a thermostat in HA, so if anyone has homebrewed an interesting solution, I'd also be interested to hear!

The field for this is kind of open. The interface to floor heating units is generally compatible with the standard for specific countries. In the US they have an interface to work with general thermostats, and the same in most places. So you SHOULD just be able to get a multi zone thermostat that's compatible with whatever you want and be able to hook it into the system you choose. Obviously confirm with the manufacturer before buying anything.
