RF programmable stat with manual overide on the reciever?

[Plumbcrazy56]

Does any one know if any manufacturer makes a programmable rf stat that you can manually switch on the heating if the wireless part fails?

Thanks, i forgot about that one, bit pricey though.

around £90

I'll let my customer decide if he wants to pay that much.

I have been fitting Siemans ones ,easy for customers to use but all seem to fail after warranty has expired.

Really really don't like the siemens especially the rdj10. Every one i ever fitted (over 30 of them) went in the bin. I was sick getting callbacks. Never had any problems with Honeywells or Draytons (since they changed the design).
Honeywells have an over ride button on the receiver too and are about a tenner cheaper than draytons. I prefer honeywell but will fit either.

I prefer the honeywells. Not had a problem with one I've fitted. The Siemens looks cheap and nasty I always think.

Salus have a overide function ont the reciever (probably as they expect the thing to fail though)

Don't go for the Drayton. Receivers fail on these regularly.
