What does weather compensation do for a gas boiler and how easy is it to install?

What is the impact on attic insulation and garage pipe insulation?
Do Smart Heating controls save money?
Can I save money by reducing the temperature on my thermostat or by reducing the flow temperature of a condensing gas boiler?

My experience after more than 3 years of operation:

Are smart heating controls worthwhile?

Do they make a home more comfortable or save money or both?
