Isn't that known as "running out of wood"? :lol: Nowhere near Bristol, Toasty. Can you describe in a bit more detail (or is this a sales pitch? Call for Sof...)

Hard hats on... (or should that be Hardus?) :lol:

Interesting but looks like only part of the story. Graphic interface, switches etc? Quite expensive, as you say. RS232? That's going back a bit! Gasman: That looks interesting too. The blurb doesn't explain it very well, though.

... a CH system controlled by the domestic PC. A device where you could set the temperature of every zone at any time of day or night, using a friendly interface on the home computer. It would probably involve some kind of flash card which you can program as necessary. You'd also need a few...

What is Softus on about? Either I've lost it or he has. Oilman: Sorry if the grief wasn't hard enough. When it comes to you, I can't think of anything harder. :D

Aw, come on Oilman, I gave you grief earlier on and you haven't even risen to the bait. Shape up, man. You're also being too hard on traineegasman. The bloke was a plonker but at least he had a sense of humour and understood the art of self-deprecation.

He deserves some help. He's given enough, when all's said & done.

Can't be the same Softus. That one is Tim, he's Winston. Unless he has a bigger problem than not wanting to be lurved...

Oh dear. How sad. Just what is it, then?

Oh yes I do, Softus. Every word. At times you have gone into dictator mode when I could barely detect any sign of someone "touting for business". The fact that you do so makes you a self-appointed censor. Anyone who blatantly advertises themselves on this site is quickly crushed, and rightly...

Softus old chap Dredging up the past was a bit sneaky, I admit. I was simply showing that you yourself have been guilty, if not of actually touting for business, of inciting someone else to. There’s a number of people on this site, including yourself, who spend a great deal of time...

Oops, sorry Chris!

Not a lop has passed my drips.

Solid teak.

Bog off, Oilman. I'm angry (see other post). Paul *Don't mean it, honestly.

OK guys, you win. But where did you find those? I Googled on "Honeywell valves" and "Honeywell motorised valves" and there was nothing like this on the first five pages at least. I certainly couldn't find a link on the honeywell.com website. Honeywell.co.uk brings up an estate agent in...

I'm sorry, PVM and Chris, but the Honeywell site is exactly what I mean about making life difficult for anyone who takes a serious interest in these things. Dumbed-down or what? After grinding through "investor relations", "solutions", "home comfort", "indoor air quality" and all the hooray...

Yikes! You're right of course, Chris. Typed in haste. (Having said that, reversal wouldn't be a disaster as the microswitch is independent of the motor feed). 2 or 3 port, neither is that complicated once you understand the principle. It's the internal workings I was trying to explain to...

What happens is this: When heat is called for by thermostat and/or programmer, mains voltage is applied across the blue (live) and brown (netural). This activates a motor which turns the valve. Shortly before the valve reaches fully-open position, it triggers a microswitch which connects grey...
