Hi everyone,
I have one of these devices myself and I love it. I got mine fitted last year when I was having some electrical work done, and I have since bought my parents one.
Anyway, as my trusted electrician lives so far away I thought I might have a bash at installing it myself. My question is, can I simply leave the heating controls connected to the boiler switched to "constant", and then replace the thermostat (very old looking thing with a horizontal dial - measurements in fahrenheit), with the transmitter unit supplied with the honeywell? The thermostat at the moment is in one of the bedrooms, a long way from the boiler.
Or, will I have to wire it into the boiler? Access to the back of the boiler might be a bit tricky, as it's in a purpose built boiler house outside. It's a worcester-bosch combi I believe from the mid 90's. Not sure on the model number.
Thanks for any help/advice!
