Hi all,
Looking to change our old Honeywell room stat in the hallway. I want to change to wireless (not via wifi, RF only), and am looking for something that:
a) is 7-day programmable;
b) programmer looks nice (e.g. blue backlit, not Fisher Price);
c) receiver is capable of wiring into where the old Honeywell stat is.
c) is important because I want to keep the job simple and I reckon having the receiver near the boiler will create poor RF connection because the boiler is a distance from the main living area (lots of walls).
I'm not too fussed on brand, although I hear good things about Honeywell, Salus and Horstmann..
Boiler is a conventional, Baxi Solo 3 PFL70.
Any thoughts /recommendations please?
In terms of wiring, the current setup has:
red wire into terminal 1
blue wire into terminal 3
yellow wire into earth
green wire not connected and stuffed into recess behind backplate.
I'll need to do some testing but I assume:
red is permanent live
blue is neutral (and will need to be terminated in new setup)
yellow is indeed earth (and will also need to be terminated in new setup)
green is switchable live and needs to be connected and bridged to perm live in new setup
I take it I have the essential wiring here to provide enough functionality in a wireless setup?
Thanks,
J
