I want a network connected boiler so I can turn it on and off from my Android?
Is this possible using the SplashBase and the relay bridge?
Thanks

Yes if your boilers timer switch switches on/off an input to tell it when to go on and off.
Many boilers in the UK (that I've seen) switch a mains input (230v AC) on/off to tell the boiler to go or not. In combination with a thermostat.
Please Do not attempt this though if you are not competent at handling mains safely, it can be very dangerous.
Putting it in an enclosure may also be a good idea to stop it from being touched while in use. For added safety you could use a Solid State Relay instead.
