LP241 ignoring BOSS THERM BR1 wireless thermostat receiver

[Slov01]

Hi, I moved into a new house where absolutely everything was turned off.

I have an LP241 dual channel programmer which works fine, turning the boiler on adn off as programmed according to the time.
I have a BPS242RF room thermostat which registers the right temperature, and has an arrow when the heating needs to come on as expected.
I have a BR1 wireless thermostat receiver which I eventually managed to link to the BPS242RF, with a green light indicating successful binding. The BR1 has an orange light on when the BPS242RF thermostat indicates the boiler needs to fire.

My problem is that the LP241 programmer seems to be ignoring the BR1. It fires the boiler only based on the programmer's timer, and won't switch off when thermostat reaches the required temperature.

This seems to be the opposite problem to others with the BR1 - at least I can get my boiler to come on.

Thanks for reading.

Sounds like a dodgy thermostat

Listen carefully to the BR1 when the orange light goes on/off. Can you hear the relay clicking? If not, I think the BR1 is your problem.

Try putting the 241 in on mode for heating and turn the water off, then try using the wireless to control the boiler (sorry if you have tried this already.

Thank you for your replies.

I turned the HW to OFF on the LP241, and set the CH to ON. I then used the BPS242RF to set the required daytime temperature to either below or above the room temperature and set it to RUN and AUTO.

When it was set to achieve a temperature of 30 degrees, a black up arrow appears on the BPS242RF and the orange light the BR1 comes on. This is accompanied by an audible clicking (which I assume is the relay). Set the temperature to 10 degrees, and the arrow goes off, as does the orange light. There is another click when the orange light goes out.

Regardless of the thermostat, the boiler is on the whole time (as the LP241 is set to "ON")
