smart heating

Hi all, recently replaced all of our normal trvs to smart trvs, except one radiator to allow it to always flow if the others shut off. I am experiencing an issue on all radiators when one of the TRVs hits temp and closes the valve, there is a tapping noise on the exit pipe of that specific...

I've recently ditched my entire Hive system due to several issues and the lack of customer support, but that's another topic... Anyway, I'm looking at the Bosch Easycontrol but can't seem to find a way to connect it to an old traditional 6 wire boiler controller setup like the Hive receiver...

Hi, I decided to purchase a smart thermostat and looked for one that said it could be easily installed DIY without the need for an engineer etc. So I decided to go for the wiser smart thermostat kit 3. It arrived today, and I went to replace our current thermostat with the new one, only to...

I have have a Vailant EcoTec Plus 937 boiler that is about 10 years old. During it's first few years, I had the VRC700f control with the wireless outdoor temperature sensor, that modulates the flow temperature based on the outside temperature. Unfortunately the outside weather temperature...

Hi there, I have two thermostats, one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. They go back to my Baxi combi boiler. As such, I only need smart thermostats that control the heating as there is no need for hot water control with the boiler being a combi. This is the wiring behind my...

I have resisted getting a Smart Electricity Meter installed. Last week a man from Scottish Power came out to do a equipment check and said we must get a replacement meter as our non smart one is now old. It must be a least 30 year old by my guess. He asked me how I did my meter reading and I...

House is a 1930s semi-detached house that was gutted out and done up ~5 years ago. It's reasonably well insulated. It has a Valiant system boiler (gas) paired with a Joule unvented cylinder. The hot water is controlled by a honeywell timer, the heating side of it is left on permanently and...

I have a problem with one of my new Hive Heating thermostatic radiator valves that I got last month, it has stopped responding to manual temperature changes via the valve it's self, but the valve still wakes up when you go to manually adjust it as shown in the video. Have I accidentally enabled...

Hi all, for a long time I have just had three Hive TRV's. One in my bedroom, one in my bathroom and one in the spare bedroom. I have just installed 6 more Hive TRV's for the remaining radiators in the house (except the main bathroom rad what intentionally does not have a TRV) and wanted to know...

I installed a Wireless starter kit last night however, we only have hot water and no central heating I followed the instructions from the Tado app for the install. I bridged the connections where the old thermostat was removed. The only way I could get the heating to work was to reinstall the...

Ive opened a can of worms by researching the heating system for our refurbishment. We are having a central heating system installed. The proposed boiler is a Vaillant ecoFIT pure (think 618 but not definite). The heating will have 3 underfloor heating circuits for two zones. Builder intends...

Hi All, I am getting a new Central heating system installed and looking for advice on the best design. The heating system will consist of the following components: System Boiler. Megaflo. 2 Zone Underfloor heating. 15 Radiators. I have narrowed it to the Heatmiser Neo stat system or...

Hi my very first post so hoping that i can find some advice please. I have read a few older posts relating to this topic but have a pretty quick question i think. Where do i place my two hive receivers? From the research i have done for my boiler and system, which is two zone heating...

I'm planning on replacing my existing danfoss tp4/5000 with one of the numerous WiFi thermostats available from China. There are a few different designs but the contacts are more or less the same. Just want to clarify the following will work. Attached is a picture of my current thermostat with...

Hi, Apologies if this is in the wrong place. We’ve recently moved into a house that has a cosy geo installed which we want to replace with a nest system. Having had a look at the current installation I think I need to only use the two wires currently in the T1 box? If I’ve understood the...
