Help Vaillant vrc 430

[ad26]

Hi guys

I ve got a vaillant 831 combi and bought the vaillant vrc 430 weather compensator to go with it my question is do I need to get a separate room stat if I have the 430 fitted to the boiler?

The plumbers fitting the central heating said that it's not a thermostat and we should get a different wireless thermostat ?

Thanks

Edit* got home from work and we have had a honeywell wireless thermostat fitted.

I would rather use the VRC 430 so could anyone let me know if i do need a separate room stat

or would it be best to just use the honeywell wireless stat??

Thanks

Thanks for replying guys, one more question could someone please explain to me how the vrc430 works?

With it fitted too the boiler how does it know once the room is at the set temperature?

Thanks again

Shouldn't the 430 be fitted in the room you want to use as the set temperature, ie hall or living room? I thought it has a built in thermstat.

My Vaillant 937 is in my garage......
