Waaaay OT Wireless thermostat
I know this is a squillion miles away from a car based question but LB has never yet failed me in looking for good advice.
I need to fit a thermostat to my central heating system. The boiler is in such a position it is impossible (without major grief) to hardwire a
thermostat. Has anyone got any experience of wireless thermostats?
Any types/makes to go for/avoid?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

I got a one to go with my vaillant boiler in last house. Apart from it being way clever than me i found it was great.

Darren, any idea on the make you got?
Dave, looking of the screwfix site I can only find Vokera. Is that the one?
Cheers,
Mike

Mine was a vaillant one. There is a reciever near the boiler and the remote unit which can obviously be anywhere. Excellent bit of kit, boiler was in
loft so this was easiest way to do it. Unit was about £100 but obviously saves messing on with wires to a fixed controller.
Only downside is if you forget where you have put it!!

Yup - I have a Drayton - very easy to install and use. And you can have the thermostat wherever you want it then....
If you're not living life on the edge you're taking up too much room.
