Do you really need a smart thermostat if you have a extension kit

Having read conflicting responses on this on the forums, do we know exactly how the TRVs connect. If you have a extension kit controlling the boiler, do the TRVs talks directly to it, do they converse via the bridge or ( as some have said ) do they converse via a smart thermostat? I guess i could find out by turning bits off but just wondered if anyone had already determined this.

    Yes and yes, have all installed so was just wondering exactly how it all communicated, as said I could find out by switching the smart therm and bridge off but just thought I’d ask first

    I have the same or similar question. Do I need a thermostat? I have 8 trvs and extension kit with hot water control. I also have a thermostat that has sat in a drawer for 10 months, have no use for it, can I remove this thermostat from my system and let the trvs and extension kit control my heating an hot water.

    Thermostat is asking for batteries at the minute and I don't see the point in replacing them.
