Drayton Digistat +3RF Room Thermostat
Moved into a house a few months back.
The heating setup is controlled by a Drayton Digistat +3RF and a wireless reciever in the boiler room.
Few issues:
Temp reading on the digistat doesnt always appear to be correct.
Heating comes on at random times, even when i have set it not to.
Reading the reviews for the Drayton Digistat 3 +RF it appears others have the same issues with this unit/setup.
" This Digistat3 does not control temperature in a sensible way. There is in-built software that messes with the basic sensing of the temperature. My boiler is coming on for a minute and then going off again for about the same before it comes on again. This is going to wear out the control relay in very short order. I am taking it out today and replacing with a better product that senses the temperature as a thermostat should. Honestly- DO NOT BUY THIS one. "
" I bought the Digistat+3 a year ago and was constantly confused about what it was doing. It seemed to turn off the heating before the target temperature was reached and randomly switched on for a couple of minutes at a time during the night. After belatedly reading the reviews here, I now understand about the crazy algorithm built in to this device which means that it doesn't actually do what it says in the instructions. The whole thing seems pointless to me because I constantly have to adjust the temperature to get the heating to stay on, so I might just have well used a simple switch. It clearly isn't worth the money and there are better devices at just over half the price.
The manufacturer suggested that I buy a different unit! I suggest that you do too. "
Question:
Has any others had similair issues?
If i was to replace the unit, could some one offer some advice to what to change it to please?
