Anyone know of a smart thermostat that will give a hot water boost for less than one hour. Twenty to thirty minutes seems to be enough with our system. Currently doing it manually but often forget to switch it off.🥴

This is more likely to be a boiler function, not a thermostat function.

Honeywell Lyric T6R-HW can do 30, 60 and 90 minute boost on hot water.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1

Hive can do a boost of 15 minutes or more (in 15 minute increments).1

Yup, and while the Hive wall unit only lets you do 30' increments, the associated app indeed lets you increment boosts with 15' steps.giraffe69 said:Hive can do a boost of 15 minutes or more (in 15 minute increments).
Also when the temperature is reached, the heating will stop anyway. So no need to worry too much about heat waste not stopping
