Honeywell Smartfit Question ?

[Spiritof'76]

Hi all,
Got an elderly customer living on her own with no heating/hot water. Her control system is a Y Plan Honeywell Smartfit 7 day jobbie. The room unit/controller appears to be fine until you touch it and then the display throws a wobbler and doesn't carry out the command of whichever button you press Occasionaly you can get it to create a demand briefly and fire the boiler but then drops out again !!

Clearly i need to exchange the room unit but my suppliers only have the 24hr room unit and not the 7 day........ not had much dealings with these systems so my question is will the 24hr unit operate in place of the 7day ? Been quoted 7 to 10 days to get the 7 day but need to get her back on quicker than this and i know the extra features of the 7 day are meaningless to her !

Tried to get the relevant info from Honeywell today but gave up after 15 mins on hold

Thanx in advance

Fit a salus , cheaper for her no need to be Honeywell

From my knowledge you need the correct programmer. They don't have the "usual" amount of wires in. They must work on pulses or something.
I tried to change one for an st699 but not enough wires. Ripped it out and put a conventional y plan in.

WTF is that lol

Yeah ST699 was never going to work i'm afraid !! Smartfit is digital hence only two wires to programmer and their not 240v

2 wires will be the switch , is that all there's is inside then so it's volt free ?

Yup. Witch craft I tell ya.

Honeywell all the way , this smart fit could have a loose connection ...

avoid salus

 

[Barry98]

Not everyone can afford Honeywell Stan , I've had no problems with any salus I've fitted

 

[Roger Welton]

Tend to swap out this smart fit stuff for proper s plan when ever I have problems, makes for less problems going forward.

 

[SafeGasInstall]

as long as they do the job then keep going ....

I fit honeywell easy to operate and simple

The wireless stuffs terrible.

I prefer my danfoss, might give salus a bash for a cheaper option?

views bod?

 

[SimonG]

Don't like Salus, too many issues in the past.

 

[Barry98]

Same again Leo I've fitted plenty and not had one problem , same with the logics and this that problems with the heat exchangers , I didn't have one

No, not purely a switch as no batteries in programmer.I need to repair what is there or else its the time and expense of new control system with new motorised valves also

my personal choice :
boilers WB
radiators from Mr central heating
rad valves Honeywell
motorised valves Honeywell
Programmers Honeywell
Room stats Honeywell
Wiring centres Honeywell

and to be able to charge £4k to supply and install a 90L UHWC

 

[SafeGasInstall]

VTL 120 Honeywell valves are excellent build and never had complain from a customer

 

[Barry98]

Be nice if they were all like that hey

 

[SafeGasInstall]

I could do 20 jobs in January and come back to business in december for another 20 UHWC

 

[Spiritof'76]

So basicly, nobody knows and Honeywell still won't answer the farkin' phone !! Guess i'll just have to try the room unit i can get and keep my fingers crossed

 

[SimonG]

Well. I'll go to the foot of our stairs. Been using altech with no issues and the altech is a rebranded salus. Well i never
