WiFi thermostats - Salus iT500

[Sponge]

I want to upgrade my heating control and being a gadget freak, I'd like a 'smart' solution. I've come across the Salus iT500 but can't find much information or any user reviews on it. I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about it? More importantly, if I can actually use it in my system?

I currently have a wireless thermostat that provides nothing more than on/off at a defined temperature. This is used in conjunction with a mechanical timer on my Vokera Compact 25 boiler.

You can use it but it costs about £350 and I don't see what you hope to achieve other than to have a new toy.

As far as I know there is no makers equipment to vary the boiler flow temperature as you would with weather compensation.

The Gadget Man TV program on CH4 can give you more ideas for other tops!

Less than £200 would be more realistic.

I already have the robot arm painting my hall; the wall-papering machine doing my living room; a robot mowing my lawn and one vacuuming my carpets; now I want a wifi thermostat.

Thanks for your concern regarding my finances, though.

I have a friend called Eugene who is possibly more Geeky than the Gadget Man.

He was in the Big Brother 6 (?) with Makosi amd was at the time a "26 year old virgin". Now he is older but probably still a virgin.

Since you like gadgets why not replace your boiler with one that takes Weather Compensation as that is much more fun to play with!

But do you have a walking table?

Sponge - I'm thinking of getting an iT500 too - did you end up buying one?
