will this work with a Worcester boiler for oil fuel that is located outside? we took the option of external boiler when we built our extension.

Bought 2 so far off amazon, both times british gas have turned up to fit with the full units, so you basically end up with a spare thermostat, sold mine for £90 on ebay so effectively both cost me £100

This!! Same happened to me, don't make the mistake of handing the unit to the engineer, he ended up fitting the one I ordered from Amazon after a call to head office!!
This is £9 month including install from British Gas if you have home care, £10 month if you don't. If you cancel after 12 months then you pay a fee of £70, so in total will cost you either £178 or £190.

Am sure I am missing something here but why buy a unit when b. Gas will bring and install one and you end up with a unit you don't need?
Do these work with combo boilers ...the timer on my boiler does not work I have to switch on the heating via the theromast by double clicking it round twice.

Because you get the thermostat and a voucher to call british gas to install, BG are supposed to bring the receiver only however bring a full kit leaving you to flog the thermostat, its the same price as BG
Also a combi will work but you have no separate heating and HW control

Can you explain this and it makes no sense to me? you purchased 2 Units from Amazon. Handed 1 unit to the engineer and sold the other for £90. Also, you say dont give the engineer the Unit??

This wont work with a 2 zone system boiler with a mega flow for hot water I presume ? I think you can get an extra thermostat for the second zone ? I have a salus internet / thermostats, its working but web interface not great and prettty sure this would be a better solution ? Scared they will break a functioning system its complicated.

is this compatible with a 40 year old system?
Back boiler behind gas fire, the water tank is in the loft
You turn water/water heating on off using a dial and there is also a box on a wall with a sliding bit (to increase the temperature on the radiators) ?
It's a very old system.
What happens if you order this and for some reason, they cant install it?

How long until you need to book installation? I'd like it for my new house I'm moving to in 2 weeks time, could I delay installation until then?

silly question I only want heating nit hot water my boiler is the only tap version and with installation this deal is good, but is it a problem if the installer only does heating ?

Hive isn't all that smart.
It doesn't allow for zones within the home, the honeywell evohome is far more superior - but costs about £1k to install.

No install dates till mid January..... Would have thought they would have planned for more engineers if they planned to reduce the product
