Programmable thermostat - two temperature settings

DavidUK · 4 Nov 2009

I want to replace an old dial room 'stat with a programmable one. I've just picked one up from Wickes (in the UK) for £55 but on close inspection I think it may have been a bad choice. I don't want to open it up to check the instructions inside as its a sealed pack and I want to be able to take it back if it's no good.
On the outside it says:
"Weekly programming, up to 24 time & 2 temperature settings per day"

I want to be able to set four different temps: medium in the morning, low daytime, high evening and very low nightime.
Does "2 temp settings" mean I can only have two temps, or does it mean I can only have two time periods? I don't understand the "up to 24 time" bit.
Thanks

would think 2 temps 24 time

without knowing the stat you have bought (what is it)

i imagine you have 24 time settings

and 2 temp settings i.e comfort setting 20-21 degrees

and a setback temp 10-12 degrees

these are obviously not fixed temps and can be changed

Its this:

So are you saying I could only have (basically speaking) either warm (comfort) or low (setback) and although I could program in the times I want I can't use more than two different temperatures?
Thanks

Thanks guys for your input. I've just got through to the manufacturer via Wickes (actually quite helpful on the phone - how refreshing) and yes its a One day, 2 temp unit.
[SOLVED]

Get a Honeywell CM907. It provided six temperature settings each day for seven days. You can get them new on Ebay for about £50-55.

Spooky! Have just got back from the plumbing supplies shop with exactly that unit!

Not really, my copper ball is well polished - better than the old fashioned crystal version for answering CH problems!
