Hi can I just check is the grey wire on my thermostat neutral/switched live and the brown one live?

If I swap the thermostat with the salus rt300 I presume I just need to swap these two wires and properly isolate the black one?

many thanks for your help

Thanks for this. I’ve just realised the salus rt300 is just a thermostat and not one with a programmer. Can you recommend a decent thermostat/ programmer as I would like to be able to set different temperatures for different times of the day through it.
Thanks again
 
Any well known reputable brand.

Some are battery operated but presumably the black wire can be connected to Neutral if required for mains ones.
Better make sure first.

I used one of these ae235.jpg in last house to replace earlier one, it is not as easy as first to alter temperature but worked well with 6 options for temperature changes per day, and at around £35 did not break the bank, batteries last around 2 years, I changed every year to be on the safe side, contacts as com, N/O, N/C and you can select which with dip switch so either off if batteries fail or on if batteries fail.

I fitted this IMGP8037.jpg to mothers house, it was useless, it would loose the RF link and there is not fail safe, so would over heat room. With any RF model you need to pay a little more so it fails safe.

This house fitted this Hot water boost.jpg expensive but wanted mains powered, and wired com, and it can use a wired connection between thermostat and heat link, and very easy to use, the wires between the thermostat and boiler took an unknown route and using this they are only 12 volt so selected because of safety so wires only carry 12 volt.

In the main all the thermostats do is stop boilers cycling, me rooms are controlled with either one of these IMGP8035.jpg or one of these EQ-3 Bluetooth Smart Radiator Thermostat.jpg there are some little used rooms with these TRV.jpg so to control boiler in may house the schedules need to match between wall thermostat and radiator mounted, it does work, however likely would work better if linked so the Hive is around cheapest linked and Drayton Wiser around the best.
