Likewise, after a few weeks with the wiser system I am very impressed. The app has an infuriating feature of logging you out and not supporting copy/paste or password managers but other than that it seems to work really well. It can also be connected into home assistant which opens the door for...

1. The flow meters on my u/f heating manifold look very contaminated; is this normal and do I need to do something about it? (see image) 2. It is difficult to tell but it looks like the flow to the bathroom is very high (6l/min) (compared to size of room) and the flow to the porch area is very...

It is an ideal classic se24ff I reran the test with everything on (u/f, h/w, upstairs) and it ran for 18/20mins so it looks like the boiler is producing too much heat when only a single circuit is active and because it is non-modulating its only choice is to stop/start...

I recently introduced a drayton wiser system to our upstairs circuit and that has been a great improvement. However, I am not sure if we are seeing boiler cycling as I have observed the boiler much more closely since making the change. We have underfloor heating downstairs, radiators upstairs...

I bought the wiser 3 channel hub for future proofing but don't think I will switch the h/w and uf heating across in the short-medium term because it services the most used rooms and has thermostats in every room already. To me the big benefit is the upstairs zone which is wasting tons of energy...

Yes, a single boiler.

I already have this implemented, but I dont want to go around changing 15+ TRV several times a day based on who is in each room. To me this is the biggest selling point of smart heating control - it is much more precise and responsive to room use in real time.

I should probably have said this was more of a POC question. My house setup is not ideal from an efficiency standpoint: One section has underfloor heating. There is a single programmer (Myson MEP2C) and each room (5) has a thermostat. Upstairs is another zone. There is a single Myson MPRT in...

I have a question about how smart TRV's operate (e.g. Tado or Wiser). My understanding is the TRV communicates with the hub, which in turn triggers the heating. If the heating was controlled separately and already on (and a few rads left always on for flow) could you not use the smart TRVs...

Not allowed to do anything visible

I was thinking of this because we have mvhr so ducting to all of the ceilings. I am unclear how I would get from the middle of the ceiling to the bottom of a wall though?

That would require lifting the upstairs floor? Not an option because we have karndean fitted.

I now have gig internet at home but cannot realise its full potential because I dont have ethernet run through the house. The house is quite large and l-shaped with the internet connection terminating on one side of the house, and my office being on the other. It is a modern house, approx 10...

Our old house had a single heating zone plus a hot water tank. I got a nest fitted and it worked perfectly. We have moved to a new house and the layout is somewhat more complex: 1. One section has underfloor heating. There is a single programmer (Myson MEP2C) and each room (5) has a thermostat...

We recently switched from copper internet to full fibre. As a result the copper phone line was cut and since this the alarm (which we inherited with the house and dont use) has gone off weekly quoting a telephone line failure fault. Each time I can silence it by entering the code (we have the...
