so a few years ago, an out of work programmer and I sketched a twin channel programmer that had no screen, just 2 sliders with settings, off, internet and on/override.
We never got past the beer mat stage..
So , Ive wired my heating and hot water to 2, ''TAPO" wif fi plugs, £7.50 each.. Ive been using it for a few weeks and it totally ticks all boxes, schedules, rules, timers, one touch actions, etc..
To think that it replaced a honeywell 2 channel programmer that cost nearly £100!!
How can this be done within the regs????? it only works with S plan , as there is no 'hw off ' available from plug.
The way I see it is there could be 2 ways, separate and labelled circuits, the wifiplugs feeding just the motor and neutral, with the pair of switch wires going to 3a boiler supply, but this leaves a motorised valve with 2 points of isolation. Or, as I have , a double socket wired to the 3a boiler supply and labelled, '3a boiler controls only'
Are either of these even some way to satisfying regs!?? remember, not the code of practice, but the actual regs and their wording..
thanks.
Happy Christmas!!
