Good Morning DIY Friends
Thanks to all that responded to my initial post "Central Heating Wireless Stat Recommendations".
I decided to go for a pretty basic programmable wireless stat, as our demands on the upstairs heating are straight forward. The model chosen was the Honeywell/Resideo Total Home item.
Although it looks like it will perform all the necessary functions, I am not totally happy with this. These seem to be supplied by a company called Hannicks, rather than being full blown Honeywell product. The quality does not stand up to previous Honeywell kit I have bought, but maybe this is just symptomatic of the general race-to-the-bottom and disposable everything these days. The operation does not seem too intuitive although that might be an age thing.
The most frustrating aspect is that when you tap a button to illuminate the display, the button function is quite often actioned as well e. g. turning off the stat accidentally.
None of these are show stoppers of course on a set-and-forget device. However, the fact that it only has two time periods programmable (which I knew before purchase) does I think limit its appeal for more general use.
