My predicament....
at moment stat is in hall, programmable, CH left on at programmer by boiler and controlled at stat, HW just at programmer. Have extended house and now want stat in this bigger room to give better control of temp in it. Also, as hall quite small and faces south it can be fairly warm in there, so CH might not come on although other rooms may be bit nippy!!
Basically, is it better for me to go down the wireless route as i've heard about signal issues etc or should i wire it direct. I think this is possible with not much fuss, assuming i could disconnect existing wire from back of programmer to stat,and insert new one in conduit in utility and drill through wall to back of new stat in extension.
What do people feel would be best, it is about 8 metres from existing stat to where i'd like the new one and RF signal would need to pass through 2 internal partition walls (kitchen and dining room).
Any advice would be warmly appreciated,
