Hello Alasota.
Yes we do have plans for a fully wireless version, however it probably will not be ready until Autumn 2013. Also it will push the price up by another £40 - £50.

What do people think of BGs offering £149 fully fitted.  Looks a good option for us in the UK.

Is that a British Gas rebranded Inspire device, or do they have their own version?

The £149 price is only when installed as part of a new system. Their prices are as follows:

"£199 for those customers with existing British Gas Energy or British Gas Services accounts.
£229 for customers who are new to British Gas.
Please call the number above for more information.

A price of £149 is available when Remote Heating Control is installed as part of a new
Central Heating Installation from British Gas."

No, the Inspire device is our own design and is not sold to anyone else.

Slightly off topic, but I've just used the MyJoulo service (https://www.myjoulo.com) to measure and get feedback on my house temperature and thermostat settings. Neat service that sends you a logger, which you leave on top of your thermostat for a week, then upload the results via USB. It then gives feedback on how your thermostat settings compares to the national average, and what difference increasing/decreasing temp would make.
Given that the Inspire is connected to the web and (I assume) measuring temperature, adding similar functionality in would be pretty cool.
