Isn't it simpler to just get a thermostat that will turn heating on/off based on the indoor temperature?

Most heating systems where I am have one...



Sounds like what a modulating thermostat does. It will change the heat of the water flowing through the radiators based on the difference between current and desired temperature.

One big advantage over a on/off thermostat is that it the room temperature doesn’t fluctuate as much.


Thing is, they're relatively cheap off the shelf.
