H/W / C/H indicator panel

[coopersim]

Is there a way of wiring up an indicator panel to show if there is demand for C/H or H/W on my system? Just a couple of bulbs fitted in a standard blank switch cover, but I don't know how to wire this in to my system.

It's a two zone central heating system with a Mega Flo hot water tank

Standard boiler - not combi

Is this possible?

Morceau de gateau.

Your motorised valves will each have a brown wire, which goes live when the connected circuit has a call for heat.

Thanks for that, I'll check it out, but in essence, that means I will need three lights - one for H/W and then one each for the two central heating zones?

would have to be the brown wire Kev as the orange is common.

If you connect the indicators to the the orange wire then BOTH will light up together, you must connect the HW indicator to tthe BROWN wire to the HW valve and the CH indicator to the BROWN wire to the CH Valve as has alreadsy been said!!
