Thats a good point. I shall check the batteries to make sure they arent junk.

Good rechargeable AA and AAA batteries store more power than non rechargeable ones. They also give a more constant current. Use only so called Low Self Discharge cells, the ordinary ones are rubbish as they lose ~0.5% a day of the stored charge. Sony Eneloop and Panasonic Infinium are two good makes.

Alot of rechargeable batts are only 1.2v where as a normal batt is 1.5v, which is why the MI for room stats tell you not to use rechargeable batts

I don't think he was being nasty, just direct. There are lots of trades here, and most are very helpful.

In fact the more I read about these wireless thermostats im struggling to see the point.Microwaves can interfere with them, Wifi interferes with them, batteries can run out. Apart from the fact they look a bit tidier than a wired stat I can't see any great advantage.

I've started fitting Delta Dore, so far so good.
Massive range and linked in the factory so can't be interferred with.
I've even temporarily placed one in the boiler body whilst I did some other work and it still worked. I placed it in a tin box and left the lid off and it still connected, good price too. Has a handy check button just in case its been connected back to front.
