I'd appreciate some advice on the following setup.

I currently have an EPH Ember "smart" system consisting of 2 heating zones (combi boiler so no water) and two wireless thermostats. I'd like to replace it with the Drayton Wiser Kit 3.

The EPH wiring looks like this:

which looks like this on the controller backplate:

So, other than the L & N terminals, pins 3 & 4 are the zone 1 and 2 switches, respectively.

The Drayton wiring looks like this:

I appreciate that the wiring centre in the Drayton documentation is different but, as I'm going to be retaining the EPH wiring centre, vales, pump, etc, is it simply a case of replacing the backplate, moving wire 3 > pin 1 and wire 4 > pin 3 and replacing the programmer?

I can't see why I would need to do anything more but it just seems too easy...

Thanks for your help.

That's it. Occasionally the planets all align

You may not even need to replace the backplate. Just move the connections as you indicated (3->1 & 4->3).

Naturally enough the Wiser will have a phantom channel for Hot Water which can be ignored.

Worked a charm, thanks guys.

I DID replace the back panel as I thought my OCD would annoy me having a white backplate and a black programmer... before I realised you couldn't actually see it once the programmer goes back on. Oh well, it kept me quiet for a bit...
