Unfortunately, there is no room thermostat. At least not as far as I
can see. I'm going have a longer think about this and see what my
other options are. As another poster commented, there are some issues
with my simple plug timer plan.

In which case this seems like an ideal opportunity to add one.
Generally very easy to do. If you don't fancy running a cable to the
stat position then you can even get wireless stats.


Thanks. I'm going to pursue this a bit.

Now I just need to find out what the (undocumented) 25 year old control
panel is doing.


If you can get the existing control panel to set the boiler to run
continuously, then you can let the prog stat do all the work from there.
The timer becomes in effect redundant (although no harm in leaving it
there in circuit)
