Drayton Thermostat

Options
I will be buying a new build property with two zones, one for ground floor and 2nd for top floor.

I am using Nest in my current home but not able to control rooms saperately. 

Looking to install Drayton Thermostat. Any one want to share their feedback, learning or any suggestions please?

S.

    At the old house I got a plumber round to install it as had no wired themostat, cost £80. When I moved, I left it behind and purchased the same again, but installed it myself to replace the Nest which the vendors left behind. Was extremly easy to do.
    I have one wall themostat, and 5 drayton wiser radiatior themostats.

    Extremely helpful mate, one last question which I am confused is I have two thermostats on this new property. shall I be going with channel2 or 3? Not even sure what is the basic difference.

    Good question! I'm not really sure on that one. Suppose it depends if you want to use the drayton wiser trv's to control the temperature of each room, so each room is a zone, rather then just having the two zones - ie upstairs/downstairs. I went for kit 1, then just added trv's to it.
    If in doubt, contact Drayton Wiser  - their support is very good. Also, amazon do really good deals on the drayton wiser around Black Friday, so worth holding out till then if you're in no rush.
    You can see the previous kind of deals on HotUkDeals - https://www.hotukdeals.com/search?q=drayton+wiser

  • With image you shared, eliminates the need for spending more on dual thermostat kit. Although in my case possibly I need to install dual one as I have two saperate zones. 
    Very good shout, let me speak to CS team. Will update u too mate. 
    Thanks again for your detailed response.
