1. A control system flexibly adapted for retrofit use with multiple types of pre-existing boiler-based heating systems, the control system comprising:

  • a thermostat device comprising a user interface, a processor, a memory, a temperature sensor, an occupancy sensor, and one or more radios, wherein the thermostat device is configured to transmit control signals for controlling activation of a boiler system;

    a boiler control device configured to selectively couple mains AC voltage wires to wiring terminals that are coupled to a boiler system according to control signals received from the thermostat device and thereby selectively control activation of the boiler system; and

    a thermostat stand configured to be mechanically coupled to the thermostat device;

    the thermostat stand comprising a reflective horizontal surface such that motion detection of energy-emitting objects is enhanced by virtue of reflections of energy emissions off of said reflective horizontal surface into said occupancy sensor.
