Description
Central heating is not available independently of the hot water – water will always be heated when the heating is on whether it’s used or not. A combi boiler requires good water pressure, so may not be suitable in some residential areas where pressure is low.
Four 22mm or 28mm copper pipes connected to the boiler (sometimes three pipes if an injector T is fitted, but a fourth 22mm or 28mm copper pipe will still be nearby). Requires a three-channel Wiser kit ( Wiser Thermostat Kit 3) – note that you won’t require the third channel, because the hot water control in a combi system is not separate. A two-channel kit is not suitable for a combi system with two heating zones as the second channel in the two-channel kits is only suitable for hot water control in a conventional boiler system (with a separate hot water tank).

Powered by two AA batteries, the smart thermostat can be freestanding on a table or shelf, or mounted on a wall. It has three touch controls on the front. The plus and minus button allow you to adjust the desired temperature of the room, while the middle button boosts the heating in said room by two degrees. The screen automatically goes to sleep after 15 seconds to conserve the battery, but pressing any of the three touch controls will wake it up. We did notice a slight delay of around 10 seconds to one minute between boosting the heating from both the radiator thermostat or the app and the boiler springing into action. The further away from the Heat Hub the thermostat is, the longer the delay. Initially, we also struggled to get the radiator thermostat in the room furthest from the Heat Hub to remain connected to the system at all times. It would often drop the signal, meaning we were unable to control it via the app. However, after installing an optional Wiser Smart Plug – which also doubles as a range extender for the system – in a room between the Heat Hub and the troublesome radiator thermostat, connection issues were no longer a problem.

See if you have a time controller on your system or if it just on and off at the boiler. Controlling your system by turning the boiler on an off could indicate a gravity system. May be more economical to run for smaller households than other boiler system types according to the Energy Saving Trust. The Wiser 1-channel thermostat kit ideal for combi-boilers. Control your heating more easily with smart technology.You can tap on a room and edit the schedule or access the room settings, where you can view the battery level for the thermostat, rename it and turn Open Window Detection on or off. Editing a schedule was made super-easy as a result of the ‘copy’ feature, which lets you duplicate a schedule with just one tap, rather than having to input it all for each day and on each device. HubR: User: Push Button/LED; I/O: Mains Relays (1-3), Digital Boiler Interface; Room thermostat: User: TFT display, touch buttons; I/O: None; Radiator thermostat: User: Twist Cap, LED; I/O: None Drayton Wiser may be functional, but its plain all-white plastic design certainly isn’t stylish. If you prefer gadgets that make a design statement, this isn’t the smart thermostat for you. If, however, but turning on the central heating side, the hot water also turns on, this would indicate a gravity system. ADVANTAGES OF CONVENTIONAL BOILERS (with vented hot water and fully pumped)
