Wireless Room Thermostat
We have a roomstat in the hall but would much prefer a stat in the
lounge diner for a steady temperature in there. No easy way of running a cable. All we really wanted is a wireless thermostat that we can manually set but I note a lot can be pre-set for different temperatures at different times on different days. Any recommendations? Is there a wireless unit that would replace both the roomstat and the programmer which looks pretty old and will not work off a backup battery. At present we have a Glow Worm 24hxi condensing boiler Drayton Tempus 7 time controller for water and heating Honeywell roomstat of some basic sort in the hall Thermostat on the hot water cylinder Usual motorised valve to distribute to radiators/cylinder as required TIA for any ideas |

It is left on 24 x 7 If you agree then programming different temps is better than switching off. Setting the temp during times the house isn't occupied to about 15 degrees is as good as off - you don't really want it any colder in my opinion. |

The stat sits beside us and can be manually adjusted in seconds if needs be. It has simple buttons, a large LCD display and is programmable by technophobes. It appears to control to +/-0.5 degree which many claim but few deliver, IME the cheapies really aren't as good. Currently 95quid from http://www.heatingcontrolsonline.co.uk/ which is where I got mine. -- fred BBC3, ITV2/3/4, channels going to the DOGs |

You need to decide whether you want the 7-day version (for working people?) or the one day version (which is easier to programme and change). DAvy |

The one day version (CM921) doesn't have the very useful "party" function which allows you to override the temperature setting for a selected number of hours http://europe.hbc.honeywell.com/products/ecatdata/pg_cm920.html. I don't know how much simpler the 1 day one is to program but the 7 day one is quite straightforward anyway. We run the same programme every day on our CM927 and it was a simple matter to copy the first day to the rest of the days of the week. There doesn't seem to be much price difference between them so the 7 day one looks like the better choice. -- Mike Clarke |
