Glowworm Migo ebus connection.

[tekkydave]

I have just had my ageing Potterton 15he boiler replaced with a Glowworm energy7 18r. Rest of the system is a standard s-plan unvented system with a Drayton LP522 controller and on-off thermostat in the living room. I am thinking of replacing the controller and thermostat with a Glowworm Migo. Am I OK to remove the boiler front panel and connect the ebus cable myself or do I need to get a gas safe engineer to fit it?
Also, what's the general opinion of the Migo? Thanks.

Unfortunately if it’s a MiGo you want it’s not as simple as connecting it to the boiler you have - you’d need the MiGo system pack. This includes a new wiring centre which you’d have to connect your zone valve(s), cylinder thermostat and MiGo to which is then connected to the ebus connection on the boiler.

Ok thanks. I hadn't appreciated that. The adverts don't mention all that.
Cheers.

No problem, hive or nest might be the better option if you are wanting the internet control as that just replaces the programmer and thermostat. The hive receiver even uses the same backplate as your current programmer so should be a straightforward swap.
