Honeywell Thermostat Replacement

[MisterFish]

Hi

My combi is controlled by a Honeywell CMS927B via a Honeywell RD666OD next to the boiler.

It all works well but the CMs unit has started to have problems with the display becoming unreadable. I understand that this is quite common. I also undersatnd that the CMS927B in no longer produced.

Could someone please suggest an alternative that has about the same level of features, preferably Honeywell, (simply because I have liked this one).

I do not need any IP/Bluetooth/Facebook type refinements. I'm old school and do not need to check my boiler pressure from outer space or anything like that.

Thanks fellas.

The nest is pretty good, because it learns how you want the heating and it knows the outside temp, so it can warm your house up a little earlier or later depending on the outside temp. I don't believe it has an interface to Facebook, but it does integrate to your phone, which makes programming it a lot easier than an old school digital calculator display.

The Honeywell is still available from many sources, they are good apart from as you have discovered they suffer from display problems, this one on e-bay is a good price, other online stores will range from £130-£170

Thanks for this ..... but

1. I wasn't literally serious about facebook ... if I'm honest I don't really know what facebook is ... and ...

2. The benefits you point out, "knowing outside temp", "learning how I use the heating" etc are exactly what I would like to avoid. I really don't get on with technology that wants to second guess me. I just want to be able to tell it .. simply ... what I want it to do and have it do that thing there.

I know I'm out of touch with reality and I'm okay with that

Thanks all the same though.

Thanks. Ordered one.

Thanks. Ordered one.

Please note that this is a thermostat only, and you might have to pair/bind this to your current receiver.

Seems relatively easy:

Yeah, I thought I might. I'm sure its a fairly straightforward job though.

Thanks.
