Choice of wireless thermostat / Part P
Hi
As I mentioned in another thread, I am thinking of replacing my mechanical room thermostat with a Honeywell CM67. I intend to fit it to the existing programmer and to leave that on 'continuous'. My only reservation about the CM67 is that its user interface does not provide the simple functions that I am used to, namely Advance and Extend (by 1,2,3 hours). I think I can use the CM67's Party button to achieve these sorts of functions but I think it is a little more complex to use. I know the CM67 is well regarded but wondered if anyone has found a better alternative (such as the Drayton)? Also, what is the situation about diy replacement of a central heating thermostat? Does it come under the requirements of Part P to be done by a qualified electrician, or can I do it myself? David |

Have a look at the Danfoss Randall ones and see if you like those.

Not used the CM67 myself but do have a Drayton; from reading articles in this newsgroup I would say that you'd probably be better off with the CM67 due to the addition of the holiday mode and party mode features (unless they've been added to the newest DIgistat models) Rob |
