Hi

I'm redoing my central heating and am looking for a single controller that
will handle 2 zones and a hot water cylinder.

So there will be 2 room thermostats, one cylinder thermostat, and 3
zone-valves (an 'S-Plan plus; arrangement).

I don't know if I'm just looking in the wrong places, but the only
controllers I can find handle just one zone plus the hot water - so I'd end
up having 2 controllers. I want to programme the 3 'channels' independently
from 1 box.

Any pointers gratefully received.

FWIW I use my original 2 channel controller with the CH section
permanently on and rely on programmable thermostats to control the 2
heating zones. That way I can set different temperatures for different
periods rather than the being restricted to just one set temperature or
off.

That I haven't come across such a 3 channel controller as you are
looking for doesn't mean that such an animal doesn't exist but IMO
programmable thermostats would give a better set-up.
