Better positioning that’s all.

But in my single room example, if the TRV is set to 22˚C and the Smart Thermostat is set to 26˚C, would I be right to assume that the radiator will turn off when it "senses" 22˚C but the boiler will continue to run as the Thermostat never senses 26˚C ? And vice versa if the TRV is set to a higher temp than the Thermostat?
If so, and if I am happy to tweak the TRV settings to obtain a comfortable environment, then I can see that I will not need the Thermostat at all.
