CM61 RF or Towerstat RF

Hi

I have a Heatline S30 Compact boiler and would like to install a wireless thermostat. The ones I have seen so far are CM61 RF or Towerstat RF.

The CM61 RF seems easier to install as it has two outputs (volt free contact) to the boiler and I have two contact (low voltage) available. The only thing is it has only 6 switching options so you can program three sections of heating per day.

The Towerstat however looks like it can do more than 6 per day but only in 1 hour slots. Also it has only three terminals. Live, Nuetral and Output. Live and neutral is easy but what about Output, my boiler has two connections which to connect it to? Also does anybody know for sure if you can program more than 6 switchings per day on the towerstat, the manual doesnt seem to clarify.

Thanks

PS btw I have no TRV's on the any of my Rads

No, six. For each time point you program in a new target temperature which will be maintained until the next time point (unless overridden). If you want the heating to be off completely for one or more time periods you just set the desired temperature to a very low number. If you just want to think in terms of on or off, then yes you are limited to 3 on periods, but mine at home drops to 11C during the day and then picks up in two steps in the evening - much more flexible than a programmer+stat setup.

The CM67RF is a better buy than the CM61 as you can have different programs for each (e.g. for weekends or because you get home early on Friday)

No, after I fitted my first CM67 I lost interest in everything else . If you take time to understand the various options (like using the party button to kill the heating for a couple of hours when you go out) it is a brilliant piece of kit.

The CM60-series has been superceded by the CM900-series now.

Appears functionally the same however a bit more 'flash' (and user-friendly with the on-screen prompts).

P.S. Note however that it has optimisation turned off *by default* which is sure to go unnoticed by some.
