How do you just turn heating on NOW with Drayton Digistat +2 +3

EdwardB

After taking my PHD in how to programme the Drayton Digistat +2 or +3 or whatever it is, I failed to figure out a simple one button way to turn the bloody thing on!

Honestly whoever designed this thing really needs to be punished in a serious way.

I just want the heating in the combi boiler to come on.

Who the hell needs 43 permutations of programming if you don't have a simple ON BUTTON.

YES I have searched manuals but they are way too complicated, I have even watched the videos on YouTube.

Anyone got any ideas?

I plan to rip this awful thing out of property, suggestions for a replacement???

It came with property but if I had paid for this I would be even more !!!!ed off than I am now.:mad:

Just increase the required temperature until it is above the current room temp.
All the programmable stats are similar in that the unit is always on but the demand for heat is not being made, Depending on the time and set temp, the boiler will not be required to fire and so the heating is "Off"

Just turn it up using the up button which will override the other settings until it reaches the next time zone.

Got to love these "smart" controls that, like the person that designed them, are anything but.
