Hello all,
I've been doing a lot of reading lately around installing wireless thermostats and am about to take the plunge and order a Honeywell CM927. Fitting seems straightforward but, if I'm out of my depth once I've looked at the wiring on my existing Siemens RWB7, I'll get a sparky in
My question is actually around the compatibility of room thermostats with TRVs. I don't have a thermostat at the moment but have TRVs on ALL radiators. I've read in a lot of places that wherever I put the thermostat receiver (likely to be the lounge), I shouldn't have a TRV on that radiator. Given that I may want to move the thermostat around... it is wireless after all... I was wondering if setting the TRV to max on that radiator would be sufficient rather than replacing with a normal valve?
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be moving it all the time but there's the odd day (if I'm working from home for instance), where I may want one of the upstairs rooms to control the temp as I'm mainly there rather than the main living space of the house.
Thanks in advance - central heating n00b as you can tell!
