Wifi Connected SMARTSTAT installation

Mdljk · Jul 26, 2020

Hello - I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar System Boiler. I have a simple Honeywell programmer at the boiler to programme both HW and Heating. I have a Honeywell CM67 programmable roomstat. I have a hot water cylinder with cylinder-stat.

All works well but having a WB 30i system condensing boiler (not hot water on demand through a combi) I have to override the HW programmer settings if I want more HW outside the timed period (and then often forget to switch back from constant to timed wasting £) I also have enough unpredictability in my schedule to benefit from a Wifi connected SMARTSTAT. Tado claims to be the easiest for self-install but I would appreciate any feedback on....

Best Wifi connected room stat with HW programmer
Those to avoid
Best for ease of non-professional self-install

Many thanks for anything you can offer.

If you already have a programmable room stat then you have 2 time clocks in series presently for CH. You don't need that but ca still utilise it like you have been.

Anyway, any 2 channel WIFI time clock will do but depending on your valve arrangement you may then need one with an NC contact aswell for the HW.

What valves do you have on your system?

I have a mid port valve with cylinder stat. Does the addition of HW function significantly increase installation difficulty for a Wi-Fi connected SMARTSTAT?
