I've just had a barrage of complaint from HID because I switched off
the towel rail in the shower area as with the high temperatures
recently the room was like an oven, and then I forgot to switch it
back on again when the outside temperature dropped.

The rail is off a switched FCU - is there anything on the market that
I can fit that will make my life a little pleasanter to live? That is
apart from a memory transplant and at 66 such a boost would have its
advantages!

You could just add a room thermostat.
Need to take Zones into account when positioning.
You might want to choose one where the adjustment
is preset (hidden inside) rather than being exposed.

Sheesh - wish I had a quid for every time that's happened in my house...

Worth thinking about but it would mean a redecorating task as well as
I would have to chase the cable into the wall. The FCU is part of the
ring circuit if I remember correctly - need to check on that as it
would certainly be easier if it is a spur.

Dave - the furore was such that I feared I was going to have to
**spend** several quid on flowers to pacify her!!!

Hmm - I particularly like the "tamperproof case to prevent unauthorised
adjustment" - there should be more thermostats like that...

Thanks guys - enough for me to go on with there. At £30 odd the
timeswitch will in time be cheaper than X bunches of flowers!
