My current setup is a Worcester Junior 28i combi boiler with the heating controlled by a Horstmann HRT3 mechanical room thermostat. Ideally I would like to replace it with a programmable wireless thermostat. The wiring to the thermostat is a live, neutral & control wire going back to the boiler, there is also an earth wire but not connected. My idea was to simply replace the thermostat with the wireless receiver, I tried the Horstmann HRFS1 from Screwfix as they had them reduced to £44. The wiring setup looked the same with just the 3 wires, after wiring it up it would work but only if I had the control pad touching the receiver, spoke to Horstmann tech support only help he could offer was maybe my wifi router was interfering with it :confused: turning the router off had no effect, returned it for a replacement but pretty much the same would work but only if it was right next to each other. As it worked but had no range I can't see it was wired incorrectly.
At our previous house we had a Honeywell think the model was CM67 which worked fine. What wireless thermostats could I wire up to replace my existing thermostat with my current wiring (live-neutral-control), I am looking for the easiest solution rather than opening the boiler up to connect the receiver directly & can't see why I can't put the receiver in place of the old thermostat.
