Plumb Center (now Wolsley) and radio thermostats
 

A while back I replaced a Honeywell programmable radio thermostat with a
"look alike" with the aid of this NG. As posted previously, I might be
helping to add stuff to a central heating system including a programmable
thermostat.

Going looking for it again, I can't find it on the Wolsley/Plumb Centre
site.

" Center radio frequency programmable room thermostat 1 £51.00 "

The Honeywell branded ones seem to be over £100.
CM927 I think is the standard.
Noted that these are just over £80 on eBay.

Is there another recommended 7 day programmable wireless room thermostat
at a slightly lower price? Or is it Honeywell all the way down?

Cheers



Dave R

P.S. as HOH seems to regularly post a "thank you" about getting the
display working again I might have a try at that first.

Oh, bugger!


Just looked at the invoice again, put in the product code, and there it is
at £63.60.


Sorry about that.
Still, if there is something out there which is better value feel free to
speak.


Cheers

I did exactly the same a couple of years ago - replaced the 927 with
this one (which I believe is a Honeywell under the cover).

Only thing I miss from the "real" one is the "boost" button: press once
for a 1 hour always-on period, and twice for a 2 hour period. saves you
having to mess with the temperature settings.

I couldn't bring myself to pay the extra £80 at the time for the real
thing. But I would pay the extra £30 for this one.

Thanks - some are listed around the £80 mark but there is always an
increased risk if you don't know the supplier.

Check carefully - the cheap ones almost always come without the receiver
unit.

If they really don't want to be at the end of the

Old enough to have learned to drive on a Ferguson tractor :-).

A grey diesel one, with the starter activated by pushing a brass
button on the gearbox with your right ankle and pushing the
gear lever into the start position.
