I have a requirement for a central heating (Worcester gas) controller
(single channel as there isn't any hot water) that allows different time
settings for every day. The only ones I can find seem to be 7 or 2/5
days, has anyone any suggestions?

It's for a village hall that has varying occupancy during the week, e.g.
10:00 - 11:00, 16:00 - 20:00 on a Monday, 10:00 - 12:00 19:00 - 22:00
Tuesday and similar for the rest of the week. Weekends are completely
unpredictable and there is also the occasional extra weekday meeting.
There is no internet access, but I have built a system using text
messages (Arduino) that allows me to remotely turn the system on/off,
which caters for the occasional weekends but it's too time consuming to
use during the week. The intention would be to program the regular
periods and use text messaging for the non regular periods. At the
moment I reckon that I'm wasting about 30% of my gas bill!

Our Village Hall has exactly the same requirement and there is such a beast
- although with two separately heated rooms we use a dual channel machine.
However, I don't have a record at home of the make/model. I'll try and
take a look at the weekend.

Is that not a single channel programmer?

It is. I'd forgotten things were modrnised and we now have two single
channel units instead of the old Sangamo one which did both halls from one
unit.

Whatever complex system you use, add a simple mechanical timer or it will be unworkable at some time by some people.

The only control that is accessible by hall users is the thermostat and
even then I've got another one in series that limits the max
temperature. Too many wanted 28C for their meetings!

We use programmable thermostats which return to their preset temperatures
at the end of the booking. The trouble is that too many people believe
that if they set the temperature high the room will heat up quicker. Mind
you, I had to stop the porter at St Giles Hotel setting the conference
rooms to 28°C when we had the RISC OS Show there in October.

You will find the brain dead think the building will warm up from cold quicker if the thermostat is set higher.

Not just the brain dead, an awful lot of otherwise bright people
think the same. At least the brain dead will be happy with a dummy
thermostat, the brighter ones will look at the stat setting and
think, it's not 28 C but the heatings off. Why? And start
investigating, find and adjust the limit stat, still using the flawed
higher = faster reasoning of course...

Also applies to fridges or freezers that have a temperature display
(or internal thermometer). Typical scenario is the fridge gets up to
6 C in the morning when umpteen people are in and out of it for milk,
spread, juice, etc. 6 C/ far to warm so they wind the dial up, 4
hours later they complain the lunchtime salad in the crisper drawers
is frozen...

Now that many things have PID control systems that do indeed heat up
faster when further away from the set point the prejudice of the
uninitiated that this is what *should* happen is more and more
vindicated.

Unfortunately no internet available, hence my Arduino which can also
send me a text message giving me the status of the door lock, hall
temperature and the amount of time that the heating will remain on.

The lock status is interesting as it really shows which key holders are
taking the 'p' with their rental periods!

What I want to do next (not because I need it, but just to see if I can
do it) is have an electric lock, that can still be key operated, so that
I can lock and unlock the premises remotely!

An otherwise good customer that runs 45 minutes late is a far better proposition than a ---- that operates on time.

Electric locks are easily shouldered. And when your customer shows up and can't find something essential to their event you do need to be there or they may look to you for compensation for a pile of costs & liabilities, since it was you that didn't keep your side of the contract. And such events do not result in building ongoing business.

I built this smart thermostat
http://www.hestiapi.com/home

My version uses a Raspberry Pi Zero, and a wall-wart PSU, so my
prototype is smaller (if not neater).

https://www.flickr.com/gp/g3zvt/d98U37

I hand wired the interface board rather than attempt to etch a
double-sided PCB, that would have ended in tears.
Total hardware cost, under £10.
I did it primarily to ****-off my friends who had bought BG Nests!

I just wish I understood the software, so I could make some changes.
What I really need is the DHW channel to be excatly the same as the CH
with its own 1-wire sensor on the cylinder.

More sophisticated boilers will have more sophisticated control.

However, I'd look at a programmable thermostat to see if it would do what
you want.

The Honeywell CM927 7 day Wireless Programmable Room Thermostat does
what you want (although it is a thermostat not just a boiler
programmer).

In my CH I have the boiler programmer set permanently on, and use the
programmable room stat to control the CH. The boiler programmer still
controls the HW.

Just looked at Honeywell web site and they do various 7 day bolier
programmers:

It's for a village hall that has varying occupancy during the week, e.g.
10:00 - 11:00, 16:00 - 20:00 on a Monday, 10:00 - 12:00 19:00 - 22:00
Tuesday and similar for the rest of the week. Weekends are completely
unpredictable and there is also the occasional extra weekday meeting.
There is no internet access, but I have built a system using text
messages (Arduino) that allows me to remotely turn the system on/off,
which caters for the occasional weekends but it's too time consuming to
use during the week. The intention would be to program the regular
periods and use text messaging for the non regular periods. At the
moment I reckon that I'm wasting about 30% of my gas bill!

Thanks, the ST9100C will do a treat - should pay for itself in about 3
months.

I installed one in the local Scout hut for exactly the same reasons you
had (different times different days for different groups) with the bonus
of the holiday function that allows the heating to be turned off easily
in the school holidays by any of the Scout leaders.

A 3 month payback is impressive! The Scouts got a 1 day payback (I had a
spare programmer in the van and fitted it for free).
