I have the basic setup of a Tado which just replaces the thermostat in my hall, this lets me turn the heating off and on when away from home, so when i went away at Christmas for a week it was set to away mode which is basically off until the house temp drops lower than 10c and before a 3hr drive home i switched the heating on from Wales.

I fear you will get burst pipes if you let your house get that cold!!!

When I was selling my late mum's house, the insurance we got to cover it while it was empty required the heating to be set to 10c.
