Hi,
As in header. I have an older gravity fed and pumped system.
the present timer is a clunky type which we have to keep switching on
manually as its knackered!
Any ideas/recommendations for a good reliable programmer?

The Rolls-Royce of heating controls is the Honeywell CM927. It allows
you to set different temperatures for different times of day and
different days of the week. You can also tell it if you're going out a
few hours and the house can be a bit cooler until you get back, or if
you're away for a week so that you have frost protection while you're
away but come back to a nice warm house. It's wireless so you can take
the controller/thermostat into whichever room you happen to be in.
Costs a hundred quid, mind.

Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK that only controls the radiators, not
the hot water - and Honeywell don't make a gold-plated Rolls-Royce model
that does all that *and* the hot water.

Mine are the Horstmann programmer and thermostat:

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/HOH21.html

(Mine is the 3 channel for 2 heating circuits and HW - available in
1,2,3 or 4 channels)

http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/HOAS1.html

To me,they're virtually ideal - very little I would change if I
designing from scratch. Very easy to use, very flexible, sensible
defaults - and looks good.

(I'd make the programmer with pairs of change-over contacts per
channel (for flexibility) rather than just a single CO contact - and
I'd have the thermostat switchable to display "temperature now" rather
than just the set-point - but that's all)

I have one of those, and it does as it should.

However, I cannot understand why the the tagret temp is not displayed on the
main screen and requires a button to be pressed. Rather poor UI in my
opinoin...

Without pressing any buttons it acts as a handy room thermometer to let you
see what the temperature really is rather than what it ought to be.

My alarm clock displays in the corner of the screen (at all times) the times
of the two alarms, saving me having to confirm them before I turn it to on.
This is what I am/was after.

Get a Danfoss TP7000 which will do all of the same and also let you see both
temps on the screen at the same time (or a clock, whichever you prefer).

I have a Danfoss TP9 which uses a remote temperature sensor.

The sensor replaced the previous room thermostat, using the same wiring.

I think that the modern replacement is the Danfoss 087N7892

But no boost button for the CH.

They do have an "Advance" button which moves the CH on to the next clock
position.

But the one I bought, the buttons slowly got harder and harder to operate
until it packed up altogether. Screwfix swapped it without a murmur. The
replacement's been fine.


I cant remember what I got, but its three separately timed zones. I use
one for UFH, one for CH and one for DHW. boost, off completely and
override on 24x7 each and every channel.

Newey and Eyre probably.
