    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    OK I’m all wired up. Thanks Ian! Only thing I’m a bit confused on now is the room with both the smart thermostat and smart TRV in. Do I add both of these devices individually in the app or do they need to be linked in some way to work? And when I’m setting a schedule or doing a boost via the app...

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    This is great. Thank you so much for all the help. I’ll get started on this in the morning. Would putting the hub in the boiler cupboard be suitable or would that be classed as having extremes of heat?

    Below are some pics. Pic 1 is in the boiler. The 2 core wire coming in at the top left is going to the current room thermostat. Pic 3 shows the current thermostat which has the 2 core wire going to it. Pic 4 is the back of the Wiser hub

    Just a wired non programmable room thermostat. The boiler has a simple dial timer on it.

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    Thanks. I'm confident on the plumbing side of things but not the electrical wiring side of things having just looked at the multizone hub!

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    As an aside, I'm just about to install. Does anyone know if my Main EcoElite boiler supports communication module interface? I can't find an industry standard wallplate to wire the hub in that way so I'm hoping so! Might make the wiring a bit trickier though!

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    Thanks. Yes we currently have regular TRVs on all the radiators apart from the bathroom. Maybe when I put the smart TRVs on the other radiators I could just move the dumb TRVs to the bathroom radiators?

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    So in summary hopefully I have this right: We have 8 rads and it would be worth me putting smart TRVs on the kitchen/ diner, living room, 3 x bedrooms, nursery. It would also be worth putting a dumb TRV on the hall and bathrooms, unless we wanted those areas to get quite warm? And the room...

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    Ahhh OK this makes sense I think. So if I put a smart TRV and smart stat in the baby room the room stat would tell the smart TRV to shut off at the right temp?

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    OK thanks. Would you even include a dumb TRV on the bathroom rads?

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    Only reason we'd like one in the kitchen is that it's really in the dinning room rather than kitchen but it's open plan and what happens at the moment is that we have that room getting quite cold when we aren't cooking and then very hot if we are cooking. Would a smart TRV not help to some...

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    I see. So if I had both the thermostat and a smart TRV in there would it react to the thermostat or the TRV? What will happen to the areas that have a dumb TRV or no TRV if I did as you suggest? What would trigger them to cut off?

    Smart Thermostat and Smart TRV installation advice

    Thanks for the speedy replies! We have 3 bedroom radiators, 1 study, 1 kitchen/diner/, 1 living room, 2 x bathrooms (both towel rads), and 1 in the hallway. So in total 9 rads. In terms of zones I think we'd probably want 3 or so zones. Maybe 4. The bedrooms could definitely be turned off during...

    Washing machine filling with waste water when not in use

    Cheers for the advice folks. That definitely seems to have sorted out the water going back in issue. There is a lot of gurgling noise when the washing machine drains now but I don't suppose there's much we can do about that is there?
