Wireless Thermostat recommendations Please

[kPATm]

Evening. We have just moved into a new home and the central heating has been a PITA to get right( Flexicom 30cx Combi and a Salus RT500RF wireless receiver) Im finding it hard to get to grips with the Timers.

Can anyone recommend a different Wireless Thermostat that will work with the current Boiler. I dont mind fitting everything myself and Im looking at a budget of between £50/£100

Thanks

SIEMENS RDJ10RF/SET-GB RF DAILY DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE ROOM THERMOSTAT AND RECEIVER
cheap and easy to programme

the really good ones are out of that price range

Thanks mate. Had a quick look and the reviews dont look to promising?

How much are we talking for something decent? Thanks

I would recommend the Honeywell CM927

Honeywell for me too.

 

[kPATm]

Really appreciate the help here. Had a quick look at the Honeywell and there seems to be a common fault with the LCD display?

Problem with it is you will get A lot more negative reviews people have a lot more to say when theyve got a problem. I have fitted loads of these with no problem, with the exception of one person to drop theirs from height and it's very easy just to re-sync a new thermostat. I find a lot of the problems with any wireless thermostat is when people make a mobile they get dropped and knocked and allsorts if it's left on the wall they are fine

Trouble with reviews is, only bad reviews get posted. I've not replaced many.
Drayton are awful!

 

[kPATm]

Good to hear. So this should work with my current boiler (Flexicom 30cx)

 

[Riley]

Should be fine

Any well know make will do what you need, lots of information on the net, Like boilers when we get asked these sort of questions everyone has a favourite make , depends is you want something simple to use or the more technical ones

 

[thereisawizza]

Is this the Glow-Worm that can be wired through the big multi-plug?

 

[Riley]

Assuming there is previous wiring that can be used

 

[kPATm]

Dont know about the multi plug TBH

Here is the wiring as it goes to the Boiler

 

[Riley]

That's fine I think my colleagues were concerned about you removing the boiler cover (which is illegal for non gas safe) but with that set up you don't have to.

 

[kPATm]

What happened to the thermostat and receiver that was recommended, the posts have disappeared and I cant remember the make and model :-(

 

[Riley]

I can still see them ??? Your thread has now gone onto a second page and the links were on the first. In any case it was the Honeywell CM927

 

[kPATm]

DOH! I swear I couldnt see them a minute ago. Im tired

I always fit the Honeywell ones, easy to use, center brand thermostats from plumb center are cheaper and apparently manufactured by Honeywell(look the same)

Just remember with the Honeywell thermostat mentioned above with the optimum start feature you have to set the time according to when you want it to reach desired level and not when you want it to come on. Catches many people out and they think their heating is coming on at random times and not when its set to.

At the higher end of your budget I would probably go for a heatmiser neoair thermostat and RF receiver.

 

[kPATm]

The Heatmiser looks good. Any experience with it Lee?

Yeah loads, fit them all the time. Recently done a system which consisted of Hot water, rads and 4 under floor heating zones. Also installed the hub/gateway so could be controlled via the app. Quality bit of kit IMO and simple to use.

 

[kPATm]

So it would work with My combi boiler no problem?

Yeah no problem at all. The heatmiser RF switch will wire to the combi boiler and the neo air stat is wireless with batteries.
