Hi MNW67 Thanks for the reply. Been looking into it a little further recently and can see some folks say the version 1 Baxi i have is not always fully compatible. Some times it is, but then sometimes it isn't. Spoken with Baxi tech they simply say its "opentherm compliant" but then they would...

Hi all, Ive a four year old Baxi 800 and am looking to fit an opentherm controller and stat. Its a simple central heating with priority domestic hot water set up. Single zone for CH Would like to be able to have different set temps for both CH and DHW Baxi have their own (Baxi U Sense) but its a...

Hi Boiler is Baxi 830 Start up is when the valves is at it’s worst. as it starts to modulate the pump speed and reduce flow and temp the noise does reduce but it’s still a lot noisier than my other valves Thanks J

hi all, Have recently been doing some rad balancing and have come across a couple of lockshields that are extremely noisy. All my valves appear to be around the same age, design and style and all appear to not have much change on the water temp etc until they are all but 1 turn from fully...

Hi All, Looking for some pointers on controlling a simple electric only plinth heater via an IOS based wifi app. I can find a couple of UK based manufacturers of the heater units themselves that offer WiFI based systems to control these type of electric heaters, but cant find any...

Hi All, Am i correct in thinking that setting the controls of my opentherm controller to make the boiler run longer but with lower water temps is more fuel efficient and mechanically better for the boiler than setting it for shorter runs but with higher temp water. Current set up is MAx flow...

Hi all Looking at fitting one of these to baxi combo 2. Problem is I can’t find any kind of reviews or discussions about them on the net. I can see nest, hive, tado etc they are all there but other than baxi training videos on the set up there isn’t a thing to see. Had anyone fitted one, are...

Hi all, Wonder if you could help. Im looking at replacing my Hive with a Nest so i can utilise Opentherm and boiler modulation. The Hive does not give it. Ive ruled out the Baxi USense as there is much too much work involved in hard wiring the thermostat to the control box. This leaves Nest...
