I've seen one of these in B&Q for £29.98 when I was looking at getting a digital thermostat. From what I can find on Sunvic's website, the list price is £40+
It appears to do 7 day programming (rather than 5/2), with 6 periods/programs for each day.
This seems to do everything I need it to, however it also mentions it can replace a programmer (as well as doing a job of a thermostat). I take it that you could use it as a very basic programmer if you wanted.
I just want to replace my normal analogue twiddly knob thermostat which goes to an old Baxi wall mounted boiler with an oldish digital programmer (EP2001 I think).
I've seen some thermostats/programmers which talk about 'volt free' contacts. Are these low voltage contacts as opposed to mains fed ones?
Basically, is the Sunvic TLX6501 going to do the job I want (7 days, 6 periods per day) with my programmer etc. It looks like it just takes a L/N connection, and is suitable for up to 6A (which my current one has 6(2.5)A stamped on it). I think its suitable.
Thanks
DBTW - I've downloaded the manuals from the Sunvic website - and I'm looking through them now.
