    Preparation for Smart Heating

    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.

    Preparation for Smart Heating

    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.

    Preparation for Smart Heating

    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...

    Preparation for Smart Heating

    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...

    Preparation for Smart Heating

    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.

    Preparation for Smart Heating

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

    Preparation for Smart Heating

    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?

    Preparation for Smart Heating

    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...

    New Texecom Alarm / Smart Connect

    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...

    Texecom Premier Elite 24 Install

    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?

    Texecom Premier Elite 24 Install

    Hey sparkymarka, what do you mean by the same? I guess you mean it can be done to give the single beep to let me know its set? I'm just not sure where in the programming to control this.

    Texecom Premier Elite 24 Install

    Great, I'll give that ago, better save the current programming so I don't mess it up :) Just going back to the silent part arm, that works but it is completely silent, on my previous texecom it would be silent, I would disappear upstairs and then after 20/30 seconds it would give a single beep...

    Texecom Premier Elite 24 Install

    Just exploring other possibilities, we have a guest room downstairs with a PIR in it, currently this is set to guard. Is it possible to have an alternative configuration where I can part arm where the PIR in the guest room is not active, so essentially having 2 options for part arm?
