@Neil_McRae  
I have not used all the following, I currently use a Nest Thermostat v3 with NST Manager and apart from presence via that it is currently working for me as I have not upgraded my Nest account.

In general you cannot use separate e.g. Xiamoi temperature sensors as the smart heating system has its own.

There are Z-Wave versions of the Danfoss TRVs which could be connected directly to Smartthings, I am not sure about their thermostat.

I am planning to switch to Tado. Whilst they don’t themselves have an official Smartthings integration their product is one of the more capable ones as it supports both OpenTherm and eBus as well as the old style ‘call fo heat’. Most others do not support eBus. Vaillant and Worcester Bosch use eBus in the UK.

Warning: Vaillant upgraded their control centre module from the VR-65 to the VR-66 and Tado do not yet have compatibility with the VR-66. Worst case you have to use ‘call for heat’ but there are other possible options some of which might invalidate any Vaillant warranty.

Forget Ecobee they don’t support the UK.

There is at least one Hive integration.

> UPDATE 07/12/2020: Hive have disabled username and password authentication for the Hive API. You now have to externally generate the Hive tokens and paste them into the smart app code. I know this isn’t easy process for non coders, but I have updated the step by step instructions as much as I can to walk people through the process. If you have any issues, you can discuss them with the community on this thread. I will try to help out if I have a spare moment. The latest version of the unofficial Hive / SmartThings integration. This now utilises the new BeeKeeper API which stopped compatibility with some Hive devices and SmartThings. Now with added Hive Colour Bulb support! In order to clean up the device types I had to refactor filenames and app names. This means that refreshing from Gith…

There are some options for linking Drayton Wiser here.

> Hi all Just bought the Drayton wiser home thermostat system and have just finished setting them up (very easy to set up) First impressions are pretty good but it is very early days. I believe it is a new system so at the moment no integration with ST or IFTTT As anyone else used this system yet and any ideas if it could be integrated with ST.

I get the impression there is an official Netatmo integration.
