You don't.. You can have a programmable thermostat for the cylinder
as I mentioned - either wired or wireless.

If you do this plus programmable room controller(s), you don't need to
have an additional programmer at the boiler at all.



Whilst this is true, using a conventional programmer with its CH output
connected to the programmable room stats has the advantage that the heating
can be turned off from a single point (e.g. for the summer) without having
to re-programme the stats.


True, although a simple switch near the boiler connecting the switched
outputs from the room programmers would achieve the same thing.
