So, with all the help around... Thanks Ian, I got a bit adventurousand opened up the boiler's front panel ( a first in my 2 score n 5 yrs!!!)...found it has nicely labelled connectors, including 2 for OpenTherm (see attached). YouTube showed me the Heatlink has cnnxtors for opentherm as...

Thanks for all the help Ian, attaching pictures of the Alpha smartstat - to be honest, feels quote cheap and toyish!!! Q1: Do I really gain anything from replacing this with a Nest - tbh, I've already ordered it so, its kind of a moot.question - physically, the Nest is a damn sight prettier...

Thanks Ian, since I currently don't have any wiring for a thermostat, would I need to trying cable to a suitable location for the nest?, Or the main nest thermostat can be keep anywhere. If cable is needed, would be 23 AWG cat6a network cable do?

Thanks Ian, is there a standard connector for that, or does this require modding/connecting/soldering wires to the boiler?

But, I am still not sure how the Nest or Hive, or whichever, wouod interface with my boiler??

Excellent... How?.. there is no thermostat I can take off and replace with either?

Replaced my boiler with an Alpha ETec33, with the EasyStat wireless controller. Thinking of replacing with a Hive or Nest controller, whitener the ideal thermostat is wireless, no wired interface with the boiler, is it possible to connect a Hive or Nest smart controller to these?

If I were you, I'd check with the installer again, AFAIK, the Alpha ETec can be fitted with an "EasyStat" wireless controller - but, it is truly wireless, there is no wall mounted thermostat that you can replace with a Hive smart controller - I took that to mean, there is no possibility to...

Hello, Returning to the UK after 8 years with very limited knowledge of how the home heating system works - so please bear with me. I got a Viessman Vitodens 200 WB2b Combi boiler installed in my house 10 years ago. Owing to budgetary constraints, I didnt go for the "Weather Compensation"...

I never menitoned a PLT device - we established that a couple of responses ago, and the term EIRP is well above my intellect.

Just noticed the OP lost interest long time ago - we should too!!!

Most cordless telephones, and some baby monitors do actually operate at the 2.4 ghz frequency. Irrespective, I was simply stating my personal experience, and the fact that a majority of the population is not really into HAM radio, and most folks probably listen to the radio only in their cars...

Since you took the time to reply, I'll revert: ,your concerns, whether they're valid or not, don't really apply to this adaptor as its not a powerline adaptor. Running cables is not always an option as not everyone wants to spend time or money crawling through attic and eve spaces. Wifi...

Any particular reason why you say that?.. any link to support?.. these adaptors just use the wall outlet to power themselves, all networking is on wifi - no different to connecting a power adaptor to run a iphone charger or similar. Do you understand how these work?

Thanks for the response Jay. I guess this means there is either an interconnection (unlikely as after the new boiler was installed in 2010, I lived in the property for over 2 yrs and never had a problem with hot water temperature), or likely one of the mixers, showers or tap, have started...

My property is on rent now and the new tenants have reported a strange problem which I and 2 previous tenants never noticed in the last 5 years. They first complained the boiler was only working intermittently. Luckily I had extended warranty with Viessman and they came and checked it out and...

I gather from your posting you're not very familiar with networking - instead of trying to run ethernet cables, playing with network settings, DHCP etc, get one of these (or the UK equivalent)...

One of my garage walls that I share with my neighbour is completely untreated - no plaster, just bare bricks. On the outdoor side, I've noticed the pointings b/w the bricks are not very well done - the problem is, whenver it rans, the bricks gets very wet, and it comes in to the inside...

The problem is, 30" would require trimming of almost 40mm. Given these door hardly have any wood in them, its not really possible. RIz

Its the 726 width that I'm having trouble locating, a 726mm width x 1981mm Height door - this particuar aspect ratio seems to be missing.
