CH Controller/Timer

Peter Andrews · 2017-01-20T15:26:07+00:00

I have a requirement for a central heating (Worcester gas) controller (single channel as there isn't any hot water) that allows different time settings for every day. The only ones I can find seem to be 7 or 2/5 days, has anyone any suggestions? It's for a village hall that has varying occupancy during the week, e.g. 10:00 - 11:00, 16:00 - 20:00 on a Monday, 10:00 - 12:00 19:00 - 22:00 Tuesday and similar for the rest of the week. Weekends are completely unpredictable and there is also the occasional extra weekday meeting. There is no internet access, but I have built a system using text messages (Arduino) that allows me to remotely turn the system on/off, which caters for the occasional weekends but it's too time consuming to use during the week. The intention would be to program the regular periods and use text messaging for the non regular periods. At the moment I reckon that I'm wasting about 30% of my gas bill! Peter

Indeed, they may be taking the 45 minutes to clean up thoroughly. :)

Didn't make it until this morning.

Unit we have is a Danfoss TS715Si.

Is that not a single channel programmer?

It is. I'd forgotten things were modrnised and we now have two single channel units instead of the old Sangamo one which did both halls from one unit.

The one I was thinking about was genuinely rectangular.
