About this deal

I slightly prefer the Tado and Honeywell Evohome TRVs, which show the current temperature on their display and let you set a new target temperature. Wiser smart thermostats are compatible with most boiler makes and models, but it’s important to consider which boiler system type you have when selecting your Wiser kit. Here we’ll guide you through the most common boiler system types to help you find the ideal Wiser products to suit your home. Also try our online Product Selector to find the right kit in just a few short steps. Thanks for the detailed response. I havent decommissioned the downstairs thermostat but given its just a dial, I think all it does is set the max temperature rather than dictating when to come on - the Drayton must have taken control in that case as it comes with its own digital thermostat to place in a given room. If, however, but turning on the central heating side, the hot water also turns on, this would indicate a gravity system. ADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL BOILERS (with vented hot water and fully pumped)

There’s no geolocation built into the app to set Away mode automatically, although the IFTTT channel does let me automate this. I have my system turn on Away mode when the Abode alarm turns on; when the alarm turns off, I have Wiser turn Away mode off. Heat Pumps are also supported and selectable in the app as the available heat source. Underfloor heating is also supported: wet systems need the Underfloor Heating Controller; electric systems can use the Drayton Wiser Eletrical Heat Switch.Looking at my current base plate configuration above, it looks as though I have a L, N, CH ON (3) and (4) ON connection, but no HW OFF (1) connection. Lets say hypothetically I can reroute the landing thermostat wires to the programmer base plate. If I were to do some rewiring how would I translate my current base plate config to the three channel youve highlighted? Its not clear to me what (4) is used for in the two channel set up. Additionally why is there no HW OFF wiring? Is my hot water is being controlled by the (3) or (4) connection erroneously? Do I even have a HW ON connection? Gravity-fed systems are no longer fitted new and do not comply to current building regulations, therefore homeowners are increasingly opting to replace older gravity-fed systems to either combi or fully-pumped conventional boiler systems. CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAVITY-FED SYSTEMS (non-pumped)

Timer and thermostat control of the central heating is available independently of the hot water, due to a cylinder thermostat fitted to the hot water cylinder. We also found it was easy to create some basic automations in the app using the Moments feature - such as turning the radiators in the lounge on, while also dimming the map connected to the Wiser smart plug to create a cozy atmosphere of an evening. App Four 22mm or 28mm copper pipes connected to the boiler (sometimes three pipes if an injector T is fitted, but a fourth 22mm or 28mm copper pipe will still be nearby).

Wiser Radiator Thermostat

Drayton Wiser may be functional, but its plain all-white plastic design certainly isn’t stylish. If you prefer gadgets that make a design statement, this isn’t the smart thermostat for you.

HubR: 148mm(w) 93mm(h), 31mm(d); Room thermostat: 76mm(w), 76mm(h), 25mm(d); Radiator thermostat: 93mm(h), 51mm(dia) However, it does have an Away Mode. Rather than switching the heating off completely while you’re out, this feature allows you to set a minimum temperature at which you want your home to remain at while away. If the temperature plunges below this threshold, the heating will spring to life – handy, if you're concerned about frozen pipes when you’re not at home. A room thermostat controls the heating in your home. If the room's temperature drops below your chosen temperature, the thermostat will switch on. Once the room has reached the chosen temperature, the thermostat will turn the heating off, preventing overheating and reducing energy consumption. This can help reduce your home's energy consumption. The Heat Hub is a rectangular box with two buttons. One button activates the set-up process, while the other starts the whole system heating. LEDs above the buttons glow green when these options are active. The Heat Hub should be screwed to the wall next to your boiler. The square smart thermostat has a two-inch screen that shows the current temperature of the room it’s in, as well as the desired temperature. It also displays the relative humidity and battery level, and features a flame icon to indicate if the heating is switched on. The Insights tab includes information on how much energy you’ve saved with Eco mode enabled, while also presenting a ‘Heat Report’ that details how long and to what temperature over the past day, week, and month your rooms have been heated.

On the 2-channel programmer where you set your schedules, try setting the hot water side to off and the central heating side to on. If only the central heating side comes on and only your radiators get hot, you have independent control and thereby, a fully pumped system.
