Hi.
I was thinking of replacing our drayton digistat +2 programmable room stat with the wireless version. I want to do this because the stat is in the same room as a wood stove and is playing havoc with the settings.
I thought i could remove the digistat from the wall and fit the wireless receiver in its place? The wireless stat would then be put in a more suitable place - probably the hall as the lounge gets alot of solar gain. This would avoid the need to extend the wiring if i were to move the exsisting stat - wife does'nt like wires showing!
The drayton instuctions suggest putting the receiver near the boiler but our boiler is in a detached garage about 11 metres away from the room where the stat would be. The signal would have to go through a brick internal wall, the double skin exterior wall and the brick wall of the garage. Sounds to me like that would be asking too much. If the receiver was in the house the signal would only have to travel about 10ft and through one internal brick wall.
So to cut a long story short can i put the receiver in the house on the end of a lenghty cable which goes back to the boiler in the garage?
Thanks stu
