My recently upgraded central heating is controlled by a Salus
programmable wireless thermostat. It seems to work well despite being tiresome to programme as it has too many on/off periods pre set. Its biggest fault is the angle at which it stands up. Its just too vertical so that the slightest touch sends it tumbling. This I have now fixed (DIY content) by using two pieces of self setting rubbery stuff I was given, its even white so matches the body of the Salus unit as if made to be the-) Mike |

It works well enough but the programming seems very awkward. Didnt yours come with a wall bracket? |

Muddymike has brought this to us :
Its biggest fault is the angle at which it stands up. Its just too vertical so that the slightest touch sends it tumbling. For similar problems, I find using one of those cheap plastic, hinged display stands for plates work well. For wider items, I find them still useful, by breaking them at the hinge and spacing them apart with tube, threaded rod and nuts. The cost a £1 for several different sizes in pound shops. |

That /is/ a problem, but I find more of a nuisance is that it is difficult to pick up without touching a button that you are not supposed to! -- Jeff |

I agree, Ive often accidentally set mine to frost protection or permanently on just by picking it up!!! Mike |
