Replancing Aube Thermostats with Smart ones?

[gaz1234]

Hi
I have around 4x Aube thermostats (formerly thermonet 132-f), of which two are faulty, we think. One fails to click when the temp goes up, and the other goes faint, then loses power.

I've found something of similar size, see here:

Just wondered if these would leave any kind of gaps around the existing backplates?

The thermonets back plate (large than the control ) are:
90x95mm

Thanks

My Nest thermostat came with a cover, so it masked the old thermostat marks on the wall, there are also finger plates for switches, designed to cover dirty marks around a switch.

How long do you have to wait before they can be fitted?

Since they appear to be smaller dimensions, there’s a chance they may leave a little gap. You could do as above with the switch plate, get a larger thermostat or patch the gaps.

The problem with the one in the photo is that the door frames in the way

So go for a larger thermostat or the same size.
