Hi,
I am new here and I have posted my question elsewhere, but have not gotten an answer so far. Here's hoping this site can do better
Not long ago I installed a wireless room thermostat for my central heating which is from a gas fired boiler without a hot water storage tank. The boiler have a built in thermostat and before installing the wireless room thermostat, the heating was dependant on the boiler thermostat as to when to fire up.
Having installed a wireless room thermostat and using it for some time now, I would like to have the flexibility to choose in either using the wireless room thermostat to call for heat or to have the ability to BYPASS THE WIRELESS ROOM THERMOSTAT AND THUS DISABLING IT so that the boiler thermostat is used instead.
My existing and proposed wiring is as follows:
From the mains, live, neutral and earth wires goes to the room thermostat relay box and from the relay box to the central heating boiler.
If I add a switch between the mains and the thermostat relay, will this work ? I attached my sketch of what I have in mind as to where the switch is added and the wiring that will be connected.
In the wiring diagram, if I flip the switch to position A, then the thermostat will be the one to decide when to fire up the boiler. If I flip the switch to position B, then the thermostat relay box will be disabled, but a connection is made directly to the boiler from the mains.
I just need to double check if my wiring is correct for this purpose and if it's safe.
Any comments or suggestions greatly appreciated and please don't hesitate to ask if any questions. Many thanks in advanced. View media item 59437
