Controls for Viessmann Vitodens 100W 30kW combi boiler

[theposhcat]

Hi,

We've got a Vitodens 100W 30kW combi boiler made by Viessmann with the standard wireless controller.


I'd like to have a bit more control over the heating, have it on for longer at the weekend etc.

Viessmann have stated that I need the Vitotrol 100 UTDB RF2, but then add that I can use a third party controller.

Does anybody know what third party controller I can use please, I'm looking for something a little cheaper than the official controller?

Many thanks

Darren

This will do the trick for a fraction of the cost.: Drayton LP722 (Mk4) Programmer | NoLinkingToThis

Thanks, certainly seems cheap enough, and my brother works for Screwfix so should get an extra bit off, but how does it connect to the boiler please? Currently the controller we have is wireless?

A wiring diagram is included with it which you should be able to cross reference with your boiler manual. It's straight forward but not for the novice.

Thanks, I had a Heatmiser before, on my old boiler, that I wired in with the help of my brother in law, but I don't believe that those wires are still live after we changed boiler.

I will contact my plumber and ask him.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe not as cheap, but viessmann are now offering Honeywell RF controllers into their 100w boilers as an extra and I'm sure they would retrofit into an older model. Could save on labour
