R. Cott. 13 (thermostats)

Anyone come across a modestly priced, low hysteresis thermostat with remote sensing for bathroom use?

A downside to underfloor heating is the individual controls needed for each circuit.

Yes. I have considered conventional outside the zones.

Wiring already laid in from the manifolds and at my age I am trying to avoid routine battery changing responsibilities.

On the assumption that they contain a thermistor as internal sensor, and th e external sensor is just a thermistor in a bit of encapsulating stuff, cou ld you remove and mount the internal themistor remotely?

Or make your own

Footnote says could work down to 5 volt with a resistor change, and this wo uld enable it to work from an adjacent mains/USB charging socket

Umm... I was an apprentice when thermistors came on the market:-(

The remote sensor is not the expensive bit. Heatmiser remote air sensor probe is ?4.95 although you can pay another ?4.95 for a plastic enclosure.

Workwise, I am flat out getting ready for the plasterer!

I assume the heating manifolds will require a remote contact closure rather than a supply change.
