Hi, we have a Hive (Thermostat Mini - Dual Channel with Hub) controlling our home heating (Oil Boiler). At the time I thought we'd be able to eventually wire our hot water immersion (upstairs) to this receiver. That's looking to be harder than first thought, so my plan is to purchase another Dual Channel Mini and use it for the hot water use only. The thermostat won't have much use other that turning the hot water on and off.

Is there a better alternative to this approach? Feels like a waste to only be using 1 of 2 channels.

Hive mini that I'll purchase. Its currently on offer.
