Recommendations for new thermostat and controller

[akashortie]

Hi.

Looking for some advice on replacing my Danfoss RF205-TS and RF receiver that has failed due to a burst pipe.

A smart thermostat would be great but would need to be battery powered as there is no power to the location of the current RF205-TS and running a new cable isn't possible as we have only just redecorated.

Smart radiator valves would be OK but not essential.

What would people recommend fitting.

Boiler is a combi Vaillant ecoTECpro28.

Thank you.

Vaillant controls would give better modulation and thus save some money. However, like all other threads relating to similar on here, my advice is - there’s plenty on the market to choose from. BlueLoo will be along soon to recommend Drayton Wiser with trv heads, but you can fit almost any you want.

Heh.

But you make a good point about boiler control. My boiler is just a gas burner with a fan and an off switch. Its an imbecile so the smart boiler capabilities of the wiser system are lost on it.

Vaillant boiler, so if you want something better than heat on/heat off, your very best option is the wireless version of a Vaillant control set.
