Wireless Thermostats

[maia]

Hello.
I have a boiler installed at my home that is used to heat water and is to be used with central heating (radiators never got installed though). It's a Chaffoteaux & Maury Nectra Top 2.28 if it matters (it has the standard 3-wire connection for thermostats).
Now the radiators are to be installed and I noticed that there isn't a cable for a thermostat routed through walls... And the thermostat can't be placed next to the boiler since that specific room has no central heating inside and thus the temperature sensor won't work as it should (temp. won't rise there).
I guess I'm stuck with wireless thermostats (receiver + handheld device) and would like to know what is available on the market.
I'd like a 7-day programmable one with touchscreen/LCD if possible (something neat). It's easy to find decent one's if we're talking about wired systems (not the same for wireless units).
Best regards.

I can recomend the Honeywell CMT927 which will cost around £100 delivered if you order on-line. Do a Google for suppliers and more detailed information

The wireless tranceivers used by Honeywell are extrmemly robust (much lower frequency and data rates compared to WiFi etc so no interference or operation issues) and gives very good coverage throughout the home. I supply/commission the Honeywell Hometronic system which uses the same wireless technology which is why I can vouch for its wireless performance.

Good choice, however I would recommend a slightly different route, I prefere to have a wireless room stat with a 240v programmer adj to the boiler, especially if there are young people about.

Good names are Danfoss, drayton, honeywell. Any boiler will except any format

I've got one as well (paid about £90 for it) and it is an excellent flexible device. Then my parents-in-law were given one as part of their Pensioner Heating Upgrade thingy.

The only 240v bit it in the boiler area, the controlled is easy to set up but would be difficult to change with little fingers!

Drayton do a range of programmable wireless (RF) room stats, from simple stat to 5 day 2 day and 7 day full programme.

They do range in price but you should be able to pick one up for £50 - £80 if you shop around a bit.

I've used them for years (commercial HEVAC Engineer) in commercial and domestic applications and they work very well with a range of 15 - 25 metres.

The stat itself is battery operated but don't let that put you off, I get about 12 months per 2 AA batteries in mine.

Hope that helps

Could Vex or anyone else tell me about this "pensioner heating upgrade thingy". I am a pensioner and have just moved to a bungalow with inadequate heating controls. There are 2 completely separate systems (the house has been extended) with 2 boilers, cylinders and heating circuits; one is pressurised. The rads have thermostatic valves, most of which we have just had to have replaced as they didn't work. There is a room thermostat in the hall, where there was no radiator, but that only serves the system in the old part of the house. I wd like a wireless thermostat with a hand held device for the new part, which is the part we use most. The boiler for the new part is in the garage and the (very basic) controls in a cupboard in the breakfast room, where the cylinder is also located. I would like something which would tell the boiler to come on later if the weather is warmer. We changed to a 6.30 start when we had the recent cold snap but woke up sweating a few days later. Would the Honeywell CMT be suitable and is there any way we could get it free? How do we find about the pensioners scheme?
