I've been doing some research on central heating and hot water controllers, and the possible benefits in reduced energy consumption that they might offer. Here's my summary of some of the products available in the UK:
And the features that they each offer are:
Single zone control
Nest Thermostat
Tado Thermostat
Hive Active Heating
Evohome
Intuition-hw
Heat Genius
Remote Monitoring and Control via the Internet or Smartphone
Nest Thermostat
Tado Thermostat
Hive Active Heating
Evohome
Intuition-hw

Multi zone control of individual radiators

So, in summary, you can't have all the features in a single system. The Heat Genius system comes closest, just lacking the geofence feature of the Tado to enable the system to pre-warm your home prior to your arrival.
