So, went with the easy option...... :) Got the Tado smart thermostat V3+ starter kit from Screwfix, seems to be a good price of £84.99, where Amazon are still charging £130+ even on Black Friday. Also got a few more quid off as my work uses a Discounts website etc. (5% apx) So easy to do...

Just found this, looks like a Tado smart thermostat which does not need a Neutral? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07FZ3P393/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_8FV1THF883WEKN6Y34G1?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 I found a thread where someone had the same Honeywell original thermostat, with Live, Switched Live and...

Oh no.... If I did not remove the ST9100C, could I grab the neutral from there, or am I well off? i.e. split the neutral, so it goes to ST9100C and thermostat? thanks

Turns out, I already had a photo of the current Honeywell thermostat already: Looks like, live, neutral and earth? I found this smart thermostat which looks to have good reviews on Amazon. I read talk of bridging COM & live, how would I know if I need to do this? Cheers

Thank you ericmark, that is great info, cheers. The only reason for the smart thermostat, is for having remote control via smart app on on/off and temperature control, whether sitting in bed or away and coming home to warm house etc. I will check whether neutral present etc tomorrow when I can...

Appreciated RandomGrinch, the existing Honeywell programmer would absolutely be redundant and this is fine. The problem is, the programmer would have to stay in situ, as it is very 'on display' in our dining room, so removing is not really an option without a big wall patch up, so leaving it On...

Hi all. Have been reading lots, but unsure if my exact ask is covered. I have a Honeywell ST9100C programmer, located next to a Honeywell thermostat like this in our dining room. This is the only thermostat/programmer for the house. The programmer is used to turn the Bosch Worcester 27CDi...

? - The old install had tape around the old style screw connection block. I have installed Wago's and placed into one of their boxes.......

Well I think I have done it (y) Removed the ceiling rose in toilet and made a 4" + hole in plasterboard ceiling. There is only about 3" gap above this, so needed to have phone on video with light to see what is what. Right at the back against wall, I could see a small wrapped blocked (black...

Update :( Inspected both the Ikea light fitting and the toilet ceiling rose. The Ikea wiring is only Neutral/Live and is the original OEM wiring used with that Ikea light. When pulling the cable, it sounds like it is joined in something within the ceiling of the toilet, as I can hear a like...

I am confident he used the existing cable which was connected to the Ikea spotlight, which does not have earth. This same light used to be plugged into the mains, and as it is Class 2 and has no Earth. If he changed it to Twin&Earth, I am home dry...... fingers crossed..... :)

House was built in 1982. I have changed lights around the house over the past 20 years of living there and Earth IS present, so quite confident I will find Earth in the small toilet ceiling rose. I believe the builder placed the cable for the spotlight in the plasterboard, up into the ceiling...

Hi ETAF. I have not looked at the ceiling rose just yet, this is all theory....:) We had a small cupboard transformed into a very small toilet around 4 years ago, and when I asked the builder install a light into the toilet and have a double light switch control this and the Ikea spotlight, I...

Hi all. I have been looking on the forums lots for this query, but thought to now actually ask directly to be sure. I am to replace a Class 2 Ikea spotlight on our dining room wall (plasterboard), and to install a 3-way pendant over the kitchen counter/island. The new light fitting in Class...
