I'm not sure about all systems but the one I'm looking at Drayton Wiser uses radio for communications between the heat hub and the various smart TRV's and room thermostats so losing the local network should not affect it.

I believe that also depends on what system I go for, of course if the internet is down then it cannot be remotely changed or the geo fencing would not work but any schedules should continue to work.

After a bit more research and chatting to the plumber today I think I'm leaning more towards smart on/off thermostats. I have to admit this is such a minefield and I'm really struggling with it :) I'm sure the modulating thermostats are going to be more efficient but my reason to want smart...

Thank you for the replies. So where the 2 mechanical thermostats are to be placed I should also run the eBus cable if I want to use the Vaillant wired thermostats? And if I don't do this now I'd have to use wireless thermostats, something like the VRT380F? If 2 heating zones are installed, is...

No the plumber has not asked for documentation but I'd say he's more of an old school plumber, we talked about Smart controls but I got the impression he is not familiar with them. I'll check about the Vaillant specific controls.

Is there some documentation that I can pass on to my plumber to help with the system design?

If I go the full Vaillant way, is this something I can do later or is there something I need to do now to make this easier?

Hi, My house is currently under complete renovation including being rewired and all new plumbing. Being installed is a Vaillant Ecotec Plus (not sure of the exact model yet), most likely a Main hot water cylinder, a Honeywell ST9400C programmer and 2 heating zones (upstairs/downstairs) using...

Thank you secureiam! Appreciate the advice! Marvin.

Hi, I've previously installed a Texecom Premier Elite 24, it was relatively painless with a lot of reading and help from guys on this forum. I've since moved and want to install an other alarm, I was pretty happy with the Texecom, to be honest the smart connect app was more of a novelty to me...

Hey, yes perfectly, I changed protocol options to com port 2 and notification are coming through. Thank you!!

Below are 2 screenshots from wintex, does this help?

Hi, Alarm has been all working fine for the past couple of weeks now. I want to get the texecom connect working properly. Its added to the system and from the phone app I can connect to it. Last week I was seeing in the calendar when I set/disarmed etc. I wanted to get the notications working...

Brill, thank you so much!!

Yes, you are right, I had set the keypad volume to 1 so I couldn't here it when setting it :) that's sorted along with the part arm 2 excluding the guest room. How do you control the internal speaker output volume?
