Danfoss TP5000 comfort temperature

Green_garnet

I hope this is the best place to ask for Council Housing.  Understandably the Council are dealing with a big backlog and, to avoid contacting them, if anyone can give me simple instructions for this, thank you.  The Council will be doing a routine service but it is not due until after summer. (I  don't  want to bother them when not urgent.)

The heating is working the same for all 7 days, always on,  and I like it like that.  Now that the weather is wamer I would like to change the comfort temperature only to come on the same every day if below about 12 degrees - and keep the other settings unchanged.  If the temperature needs to be adjusted I can do this easily by pressing the up or down arrows when I am up during the day.  The problem is that at midnight it goes back to the previous comfort set temperature making the heating come on when I am still in bed and don't need it.

I looked on line and I am anxious not to change the present arrangement and just keep it the same as it is apart from the comfort temperature the same for all 7 days.  The videos I have watched on line go through every day settings and I hope only to change the comfort temperature - I am anxious not to upset anything.

Thank you

Although this is a housing forum it's not really the place to get advice on how to programme your thermostat.  Have you downloaded the user guide? Failing that have you tried contacting the manufacturer, here's their number from their website 01234 364621.

Think this would be better on the In my Home board:

Don't worry I am having the same problem with my thermostat.  Don't want it on all the time but want it to come on less.  And I can't figure out how to re-programme it either (so it stays that way).  In spite of instructions.  They seem to make these things complicated. I am actually longing for the old fashioned dial which I never thought I'd say.

Thank you deannagone.  Your reply is reassuring.  Although people here are very good, really very good, to reply, I think we are in the same boat and just not good enough at following instructions.  In my mind I don't  seem able to see how to do the 'thing' I want from the printed or from the on line video instructions.  I am also scared of messing up the bits that I would like to stay as they were before.

I thought I had succeeded last night but now I see the 'Comfort' temperature  is back, probably from midnight, to exactly what it was before.  I did try though.

indoor temperature will never go anywhere like 12 degrees. it might do in peak winter and you have all the windows fully open it get to those levels. my experience is that indoors, in an insulated home, with all windows and doors closed. the lowest it goes is 18.5 to 19 celcius.

most programmers have a setting to enable or disable the programme. maybe that's a better bet rather than changed the programme completely.

The housing association I work for will send out a gas engineer if a resident asks for an instructional visit, they set the controls as per the resident’s requirements and also show them how to alter it again in future. Maybe give the Council a call to see if they could offer the same?

Thank you for the suggestion, tinytiddles.  Once things settle and the backlog of repair work is done I'll do as you suggest - if the annual service does not come first.  It is a good suggestion I would not  have thought of.
