I've decided to go with the TP Link Kasa TRVs especially given they're like £23 on Amazon atm. They don't however have smart thermostats which is kind annoying
Would the Meross smart thermostat be decent for me?

I'm sure the Meross stuff would probably work better with Meross TRVs but they're also like £40/TRV which adds up when you're buying 10

How's your system going to be controlled?If eg. you're using a ZigBee gateway as your controller, you don't really need a £60 thermostat that you're going to put on a wall and ignore. Just a temperature sensor, a smart switch and a bunch of rules the gateway follows.If Home Assistant, then similar. But with far more options.N. Hampshire, he/him.
