Great, sounds straightforward. Will try it out .

Hi everyone I've done a DIY install of texecom premier elite 24. Is there a way to arm the system from a remotely wired momentary button ? Purpose would be to put it in the porch at times when someone forgets or need to arm the system without opening the front door and getting to the keypad ...

Further good news today - the Nest now accepts a UK postcode

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share that I got my Nest thermostat working with a 24v transformer and 24vac relay using the following wiring. My boiler is a Vaillant Ecotect plus 837. http://imgur.com/JjHJQq2 . Thanks for the advice on the board.

Thank, a few hundred would be reasonable but the website suggested 1500-2000 which is certainly not pennies, and also not worth it given it's not essential to my plans. I would also end up having to move the electric meter. A few hundred might be worth, I'll get some more advice from...

Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone has any advice. I'm doing an extension and I'll be moving the location of the stairs. Ideally I'd like to move the gas meter too, but it's not essential to the plan. I've seen the prices for doing this within 2 metres and they're hundreds of pounds...
