Hi all
I have a Baxi Assure 36 combi boiler fitted in my new build (September 2022). There is a weather compensation sensor fitted to the outside wall of the property, so I assumed the boiler had this feature connected.
I have been thinking about installing the Drayton Wiser system for some time and found the kit for a good price online so I removed the boiler cover to take a look at the wiring.
I was very surprised to find a loose flex cable inside the boiler housing which had not been terminated to anything! Fortunately I was left with the installation guide for the boiler. The mains voltage connections are all present and correct so I checked the instructions and nothing is connected to the "outdoor weather sensor" terminals on the connector block inside - by process of elimination this disconnected cable must go to the weather sensor.
My questions are
1 - Is there any valid reason not to connect this, or is this just an error/incompetence/friday afternoon job/etc (delete as appropriate depending on how generous you are feeling)?
2 - If I am looking at the Drayton Wiser controls, is it worth even getting this resolved (either myself or by the house builder who really should make good)
Any advice greatly appreciated
