Smartphone operating to a basic programmer located in the airing cupboard

Thanks for all the info. Just seen that my current programmer is actually a Honeywell ST6400C model. If I purchased this Drayton Wiser kit from Screwfix is it simply a case of unscrewing the Honeywell from the existing backplate in the airing cupboard and slotting on the Drayton hub unit and all...

Have you got a link to both?

Hi. This is my setup. I have a conventional heat only boiler in the ground floor kitchen. Hot water cylinder in the first floor bathroom airing cupboard with an attached wired manual cylinder stat. Wired room thermostat in the ground floor dining room. Wired Honeywell ST6300a heating and hot...

New lockshield fitted and radiator flushed through with hose. Now all silent.

Hi all. Only one of my 5 radiators is making a metallic rattling noise. I have videoed it here... Any idea what it is? And how to fix it? Strange it is the only radiator making a noise? It is a conventional vented heat only boiler with separate controls and pump in the airing cupboard...

Hi. I have a central heating pump CP50. On the speed setting is C1, C2, C3 to the right and minimum, medium, maximum to the left of the dial on the pump. Could some kind person explain the difference between each setting on each side, as I presume C1 would = minimum, C2 medium, C3 maximum too...

Update... heating called out. Took the heating 2 port valve off (The whole valve, not just the actuator) and replaced it. The valve ball bit inside was broken and stopping the flow of water and the boiler overheat had kicked in, hence the constant flashing burner light on the boiler. All works now.

Thanks

It's a Danfoss HPA2 like this.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. Tried that now. Turned on hot water programmer. Boiler stayed on. Radiators remained cold with the 2 port valve head on the heating pipework was held and latched open manually. The pipe above the heating valve was hot. But cold under the valve. Does it sound like the...

I have an Ideal Icos HE15 heat only boiler. A hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard and this has 2 x 2 port valves (one for water and one for heating circuits) and a small tank in the loft. As it got colder today, I put the central heating on for the first time since April 2023. The room...

Hi I need to put a connector block in on an immersion heater cable in an airing cupboard. Worn piece of cable in middle so just want to cut it and connect 2 ends together with a connector block. 3 core cable. Can someone post a link to a suitable connector available on screwfix or toolstation...

I have a 4 ring gas hob in the worktop with a rigid 15mm copper pipe that comes out the wall connection to the hob. Whoever installed this a while back put the pipe down below on the wall and then up to the hob. This restricts the depth of electric oven I can fit below the hob to 525mm. The...
