Used wiser one channel thermostat to replace an older programmer and separate wireless thermostat controlling a combi boiler. After removing old unit the new one clipped onto the existing mount after installing the app the switching times and temperatures were easy to adjust and to monitor using the app. Would recommend.
Using this on my LPG boiler (who said you cant have all the mod cons off-grid). What a dream to install and configure, the unit is supplied with the wall mounting back plate which is exceptionally useful for a fresh install, instructions in box and the app and setup of all devices worked like a dream first time, well done Drayton!
Easily fitted. Highly customisable heating schedules via the app.
I subsequently bought a bunch of Wiser radiator thermostats for per-room temperature control once I figured out how flexible the scheduling can be so now, for example, bedroom radiators can be scheduled to be off during the day and the living room radiator can be on.
To be able to leave the heating off whilst away for Christmas (“away mode”) but turn it back on (turn off “away mode”) while traveling home and arrive back to a warm house was fantastic.
After inheriting a hive controller and thermostat when moving to my new house, I soon became fed up with the unreliability as it did not keep time and affected my heating/hot water turning on at the correct time. I spent a long while researching an alternative that had a wireless thermostat as my wired stat had been removed when Hive was installed.
I ordered this after reading the reviews. It was indeed easy to fit and a straight swap onto the universal back plate that my hive was connected to. Once the app was installed and the thermostat linked, worked as expected and controlled both heating and water.
I did notice that it has relatively short cycles where the boiler would shut off before the water in the system had reached temp- this appears to be part of the system’s algorithm (so many on/off cycles per hour). After a bit of googling, I found a guide that said to change the boiler type in the app to oil boiler to reduce the number on cycles and allow the boiler to work for longer and get the flow temp up- the controller still cycles the boiler on/off but I think it has reduced the number of cycles from 6 to 4.
Very happy with my purchase and like the insights the app gives you.
Bought to replace an old Honeywell wireless thermostat and relay box (bdr91)
Easy to wire up the new box, simple set up on the app, probably took 10 mins to get going from removing the old one to being able to use the thermostat.
Will see how it goes these next few weeks bit very impressed so far – considering putting their smart trvs onto our radiators to making our system more flexible
Overall is great, easy to install and setup.
Only missing feature is a thermostat connection for the hot water.
Very pleased with this smart heating controller. Installed easily and configuration straightforward – except I had a problem connecting the hub to the cloud. I called tec support – with low expectations – but they were great! picked up after 3rd ring, got straight through to someone who patiently talked me through it and solved the problem. They are also great for advice if you can’t figure out what set of bits you need. highly recommended.
We have a 2-zone heating system plus hot water. After doing my research and working out exactly where all the wires went, I did the installation myself in a couple of hours. It’s worked pretty-much flawlessly ever since.
A couple of points. If you have a 2-zone heating system (+ hot water = 3 zones), try and buy the 3-zone hub and skip the 2 display thermostats. You don’t need them and you’ll never use them. Buy more TRVs instead. You’ll then be able to control more rooms separately, and that’s what all this is about, getting heat only where it is needed. You’ll be able to add TRV’s to the 2 different heating zones, so that heat is only sent to that one zone, and not the whole house. But the display thermostats almost never get used. I’d send them back if i could.
I will be buying more TRVs as these are what control the radiators and ultimately control the heat to your house.
Overall, really can’t complain. It does that it should with a minimum of fuss, and that’s all you want from your heating control system.
I had a Drayton Life Style programmer, it is a simple swop that’s why I chose it, I had to put a link across to terminals in the junction box as instructed, works fine after a bit of faffing, but Alexa is being a bitch.
