Hi Guys,
Hope one of you gurus with extended knowledge on heating systems can clear something up for me
Just had a Valliant Ecotect Plus 831 installed with the standard TimeSwitch 130 thats the 24h analog timer which we tend to leave on timer 7pm - 11pm for the central heating, all rads have TRVs fitted which again are currently set to max
my issue is from time to time we would like to bring the heating on sooner than 7, adjust the temp, or maybe not have it come on at all that evening say we are heading out for the night and dont want to waste the energy
as the boiler is tucked away under the stairs i dont want to have to go and manually adjust the settings each time so what is the best way to achieve the above
i was thinking of purchasing the VRC430 and a VR81 but i would like to fit the VRC430 into my living room conenct it by 2 wire to the ebus and maybe put the VR81 in an upstairs bedroom
am i right in saying i could control the boilers on and off times, temp etc from either of those rooms via the VRC430?
Also i know both units act as room thermostats so i would need to remove the TRV on the two rads in both of those rooms, or would i be best to mount the VRC430 into the hallway which also has a rad but is away from the fireplace?
