It is scheduled based and there is no "boost" button on the thermostats
themselves.
However just turning the room TRV up will call for heat and if you set
up permanent schedules which turn the heating down every night this will
cover the occasions when you forget to turn the TRV down again.
The App does allow you to adjust the temperature in one room (or zone)
until a specific time quite intuitively and this can be done from the
Controller as well .
The thermostats do have a proper OFF position which does not get reset
by the controller .
