OP

It's a bodge because you end up with no time control of the heating and a wireless stat receiver in the hallway looking ugly.
If you had read the thread properly you will see that the unit is a thermostat and that the existing time control is a timeswitch, not a programmer.
You suggest making the cable currently connected to terminal 4 of the timeswitch a permanent live and changing the timeswitch to a single channel unit (which he has already told us it is), this won't achieve anything as there will not be a wire connected to terminal 4.
I criticised because your advice is unsound and not coherent with the information the OP has given.
Yes this is a place to share knowledge, but you have not shared knowledge, just handed out inappropriate advice.
