I am in midst of installing a new central heating system. It will be the underfloor variety downstairs from Polypipe with radiators upstairs. What is the best programmable room thermostat to control the upstairs heating

i love the siemens but.....
for the price i want the touch screen models to be in the wireless format!
I mentioned this to the rep but there was nothing in the pipeline for that apparently? If you are spending that on a stat then the more gadgets the better!!
touchscreen?
admittedly i have not tried touching the screen as all i needed to do was done with the slide, the round button and the 4 buttons on the right side.
the model i referred to is REV24RF../SET.
did one where rx/tx are across the house and boiler is in the loft; full signal.
they even have a signal strength indicator so IF there is something not working correctly, one look and you know if that is the problem.
far more sophisticated than the honeywell, more accurate and i get them for under £100 including the vat.
plug and play, no messing around with bonding, 5 pre-programs; i love 'em

I have not seen these but if they are anything like some of the other siemens products I've come accross (motorised valves and clocks) then they won't last very long. Honeywell make quality that lasts all accross the range.
Yeah!! Siemens do a touchscreen models (rev100 + rev200) which, in all honesty, are expensive for what they are but on some of the houses i work on (2-3mill+) they all want the gadget factor! But they dont do them as a wireless stat so it becomes even more of a ball ache!
Just a quick link i found i'm sure there are better:

Myself neither thats why i had a word with the rep to see if they were planning on combining the two.
Seems not though from what i could gather but it would definately be a good step forward if they did.
