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.
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.
This is a good heater / boiler time. I can now switch on the heater using my phone which is very convenient. I asked electrician to have this install for me as I do not want to bother with cable etc. It took him less than 30 minutes. so I guess it must be quite easy. I am pleased with the device. I was hoping the receive will have some display so it doesn’t solely rely on a mobile phone app.
We have had a heating control for a combi boiler operating since October 2021. Easy to fit, pair with wifi and use. But last week the wifi router was changed – out of our control as on a park site in a Lodge. The new system is a mesh network – it will not connect to a mesh network. It will not factory reset and reconnect to the old router as the system is open – no security, yet it did before, it can be controlled via the app while there but no longer have remote access, we also have an issue with connectivity to the new network so all in all a frustrating weeks holiday. Tech support have been very helpful but not found a work round without getting a data dongle on a mobile sim – reception is poor so don’t think it will work.
When we bought our first house we knew we wanted smart heating, but could not afford to buy the other well known brands and have it installed. This was a really good price and looked simple enough to install so we had a go and so glad we did! Neither of us have prior electrical knowledge. We googled a few things and looked at the wiring diagrams and gave it a go.
We have a Main Eco Elite 30 combi boiler, did have a neomitis wireless thermostat and receiver. All we had to do was change the one wire from position 4 to position 2 and sorted – picture showed the wiring before we changed it.
Had heating working immediately and absolutely love it. We will be adding radiator valves to the system in time, but for now we have the one thermostat and it has already saved us so much money easily paying for itself.
