Hi all,
My parents have just had a new boiler fitted, an vaillant ecotec plus 832 with a Honeywell home tr3 wireless room thermostat.
My folks are elderly and struggling to get to grips with the room thermostat, opposed to the analogue 24hr timer that was on their old boiler. My dad just likes to switch the heating on for a couple of hours when they need it, then switch it off again. It's a lot easier/cost effective for them.
I noticed you can fit a 24hr timer to their new vaillant boiler relatively easily(Vaillant timeSWITCH 150). I'm just wondering if I'd need to disconnect the relay box for the Honeywell thermostat, or if just powering the room thermostat off would be sufficient to allow the boiler to be fully controlled by the analogue timer?
Cheers
