The OP did not mention if the heating system had TRVs throughout. I

in fact a friend of mine had that exact system. I have virtually the
same having equipped all my radiators with Hive smart thermostats
except for the bathroom which is the official system bypass and the
kickspace heater in the kitchen which has its own thermostat. If the
OP has a system as mentioned above the unwired room stat may just be a
redundant item from a previous setup.


With 'smart' TRVs which ensure that the boiler only fires up if there's
a call for heat that would be OK but I don't think traditional 'dumb'
TRVs satisfy Building Regs requirement because the boiler will keep
cycling to maintain the heating water temperature when not required.


They are simple dumb TRVs
