I charge £215 to supply and fit the Honeywell CMT927.
About the best and simplest to use on the market at present.0 -
If all you want is a basic thermostat without all the lights bells & whistles then a SALUS DIGITAL WIRELESS ELECTRONIC THERMOSTAT RT300RF would do the job, they are about £35 on E-bay. This is what it looks like http://www.salus-tech.com/products/thermostat/rf-thermostat/_c1_33_wireless-digital-display-room-thermostat-868mhz/
Even a half decent programmable one shouldn't cost you more than £75-100. Decide what you want to do. If your programmer does what you want and all you need is the thermostat shifting to another room then a cheap one will do the trick.
If you want to program different temperatures for different times of the day or even different days of the week then you'll need a programmable one.
You don't need to spend £100's unless you want pretty screens to show off to your mates or feel the need to turn the heating on, off, up or down with your mobile phone whilst sitting in the pub on a Saturday night (again to impress your mates)Never under estimate the power of stupid people in large numbers0 -
Been thinking of that one - like the option to use Iphone to remotely monitor..
How much did it cost?
Ignore.. read along the thread...I've just had British Gas install their remote heating control to my Baxi which is almost 9 years old.
A bit attached to the boiler, wireless thermostat in the hall and a hub attached to my broadband router. Control the heating from my smartphone now (or a web browser anywhere).0
