One control for electric heating?

Hi, I'm currently renovating a house, with no gas. It's 1 bedroom, 1 reception, kitchen, bathroom & porch.
I have:- Elec radiator in living room & bedroom, towel radiator in bathroom, underfloor heating in kitchen (and a wood burner in the living room).
I've seen individual thermostats & timers that can be used on each heater, but is there any kind of system that controls all electric heaters from one control unit? It's not really a problem setting timers on each, but it'd be much nicer just doing it on one!
Thanks in advance.

I am all electric as well. After seeing a demonstration setup I have been looking at Lightwaverf.
Once you have bought the control hub you just add a wireless thermostat, switches for each heater and control them from an app.
Once the heating is sorted you can add lighting controllers and remote controlled wall sockets and automate everything :-)
All the parts are available at Amazon.

Thanks! That looks pretty good. Not cheap though, from what I can see for each electric radiator you'd need an £80 switch, plus the master hub at £90.
So for my 1 bed house it'd be nearly £500 just to control it... before thinking about lights, sockets etc.
I'm not overly fussed about wifi control, just being able to have 1 timer to control 5 heaters would be preferable.
I appreciate your post though, thank you!0 -
Are all the heaters on the same circuit? If so can you not run them on a din rail timer in the consumer unit?

Before certain people chime in, this should be installed by a qualified spark!Some people don't exaggerate........... They just remember big!0
