I have a gas CH boiler capable of weather compensation. The official Remeha outdoor sensor costs upwards of £70, while one for an Ideal boiler costs more like £25.
I'm tempted... but then on Ebay an indoor/outdoor thermometer with LCD display and all sorts of bells and whistles costs under a fiver.
So (being cheap) my inclination is to go DIY, but searching the web has failed to produce any info on what the 'outdoor sensor' actually is, how it works or how I can make one.
I'm tempted to just butcher an indoor/outdoor thermometer, connect the outdoor bit up and see if it works, but I thought I'd ask here first, cos someone's bound to know more than me
Has anyone played around with this?
