Wifi DIN rail breaker for GSHP?

[Highlander]

My now elderly ground source heat pump has no time-of-day controls, so I want to replace its breaker in our consumer unit with a wifi-controlled breaker, so that I can control times of operation to match a variable tariff. There are plenty at 63A advertised on Amazon & eBay, but I've not been able to confirm which (if any) meet UK regulations. Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

 

thanks…

Go for something like a Shelly, buy directly off their website, save getting dodgy knock off.

Thanks - I'd looked at the Shelly gear, but haven't seen enough reports about UK regs or quality - will look further

 

[Update: just checked and remembered why I'd ignored Shelly - can't see anything in their product list with >16A capacity]

If it were me, thinking about it. Use a normal smart relay to drive a properly rated normal switching relay. Leave the smart device to do low load switching.

 

The switching relay can be either DIN rail mounted or in own enclosure.

That definitely makes sense, and assuages fears about reg compliance too
