Hello everyone,
I know there have been other posts about this but they are a few years old.
My standard thermostat for Vaillant ecotec plus 835 has packed up. It was a bacis Drayton.
I have read that the 835 supports modulation and want to utilise it. Vailant have their own SMART thremostats, but was looking for something that I cold then move to anither boiler if I change it out in future.
I know to get it to accept Opentherm I will need a 3rd party board, but the boilder it 8 years old so warranty it out of date anyway.
It would be good to have
1: Weather based heating detection (with an external sensor).
2: Modulation
3: Ability to turn on/off from my phone.
Don't want geofencing or anything with monthly costs.
Tado looks good & apparently Evohome are OK.
Any ideas.
