Our intention very soon (I am working on the security code right now) is to allow to you to tell each OpenTRV unit what temperature you want to be at, overriding its internal logic.  (It would revert to that internal logic if/while it lost the radio link.)

OK, so at the moment, each valve does it's own thing in terms of determining whether the heating should be "on" ? Is this done entirely by occupancy detection ?

I'd been working on the assumption that "somewhere" there's be a clock and a schedule similar to what most people are familiar with on a conventional setup with "time clock & stat". From the sound of it, this isn't there "yet" ?
