Room Stat

[snevitt17]

buy a wireless one mate,no wiring needed only a 5 core flex from your combi to your sender L-N-E,and 2 cores from your room stat connections,easy peasy,you then have the flexability of putting your room stat wherever you want it,and if you buy a programmable one,you have all the controls you ever need

Programmable roomstats don't have an "off" in the timing; off can only be activated manually.

"Hello boldspark",


I`m not sure what You thought I meant by the Quote that you used ?


I was just adding to My Post so that People would NOT think that I meant the Programmable Room Thermostat was being used to Control the On / Off of my Heating System.

I felt that there could have been a misunderstanding about that - by People who did not know about the Operation of Programmable Room Thermostats - which means a LOT of People.

What I meant was: when you install a programmable roomstat, the heating does not have "off" periods any more; it is like setting an old fashioned system at "heating on" 24/7, only with different temperatures.

"Hello boldspark",


I was asking what You thought I meant by the Quote that you Posted [of My comments].


Regarding your comment about Programmable Room Thermostats - This has made Me think that You must have misunderstood something that I wrote ?


As far as I remember - No-one has stated that a Programmable Room Thermostat should be used to Control the On / Off Settings on a Heating System - My comment was to clarify this which is why I stated that I have a Programmer that Controls the On / Off of My Heating System.

I have noticed from your Profile that you are an Electrical and Heating Engineer - I am also a Heating Engineer - So I am NOT writing this to cause am Argument between Us.

I am sure that You will realise that We must write for the Benefit of those readers who are NOT Heating Engineers when We `Discuss` this matter.

When I query what You wrote or explain further what I meant and then Add details it is for the benefit of others who may NOT immediately understand what We mean.

Just as a matter of discussion - when a Programmable Room Thermostat is Set Up obviously there could be Timed Periods where a very low Temperature Setting was Programmed - this would in effect act as an `Off` Period.

In Fact it would be possible to Set Up the Programmable Room Thermostat so that it acted as an `On / Off` Timeswitch by utilising the Timed / Temperature Settings - For example:


Monday to Friday - 06:00 Hrs - 22 Degrees


10:00 Hrs - 10 Degrees - This acts as an `Off` Period


16:00 Hrs - 22 Degrees


00:00 Hrs - 10 Degrees - this acts as an `Off` Period


I am NOT trying to be pedantic here - just showing an alternative option regarding the use of a Programmable Room Thermostat.

Although I would NEVER Install a Heating System without a Programmer or a Timeswitch - as well as the Programmable Room Thermostat.

Just out of curiosity, why is that?

I'm not quite sure I understand your question with regards of what I thought about the comment, so I explained the benefit of a programmable roomstat; not for you in particular but for anyone that reads this thread.

No offense, but the way you "programmed" the stat in your last post, is like buying a hd tv to watch vcr tapes.

"Hello boldspark",


As it seems that We are both misunderstanding each others comments - I think that I will leave our correspondence with this Post.


You have obviously misunderstood My motive for describing how `Off Periods` can be programmed into one of these Room Thermostats - or you would not have written this:

`No offense, but the way you "programmed" the stat in your last post, is like buying a hd tv to watch vcr tapes`



I made the comment about programming the Programmable Room Thermostat to act as a Timeswitch BECAUSE You had made remarks which stated that Off was NOT an option - I simply wanted other readers to see that they could have Off Periods with a Programmable Room Thermostat - If they wished.

I personally would NOT recommend that a Programmable Room Thermostat was purchased just to be used in the way that I stated could be Programmed - re. the `Off Periods`.

I would be encouraging People to Fit this type of Room Thermostat as they are FAR Superior to a Basic Room Thermostat - in terms of Saving Money - Your comments might have discouraged People.


I will `Debate` any topic regarding Heating - Plumbing or Gas - But NOT if I suspect that someone is deliberately looking for an argument - I may be wrong about this - But the way that You have replied to My Posts SEEMS to Me to be going that way - ?


I will look forward to reading Your views on other subjects - but I will leave our `Discussion` about Programmable Room Thermostats here.
