Fitted Wiser system and connected to Baxi 600 boiler on opentherm and controls the heating with no issues, very impressed with how the controller keeps the boiler running in the efficient condensing mode especially when using the Wiser thermostatic radiator valves. The downside is that the hot water temperature can't be altered and defaults to max temp (60 degrees) with the front panel controls being effectively disabled.
Exactly my issue when reseaching to puchase. Come on wiser, when will a fix happen Baxi combi in opentherm re hot water set temperature? My current Nest stat can do it.
I installed my drayton wiser conventional kit 2, for heating and hot water, with smart thermostats in all rooms (5 in total, including the bathroom) on the 3/12/2023. I have several problems 1. I have set different room temperatures as required and at different start and end times. 2. All heating kicks in and starts warming up all rooms as soon as the earliest time set kicks in even though they have different start and finish times. I work shifts, so I don't need my room heated as and when is not in use. 3. When I chose to boost 1 room as needed, all other rooms heating kicks in even though they have different start times and temperature times. 4. Even if I reduce the temperatures to between 10 and 12 degrees to stop rooms from warming up as they're not required, they heat and warm up anyway. These problems do not help with the idea of the drayton smart heating efficiency of the heating system ideas. Eg. I needed to boost only my bedroom at night after work, but the whole heating system kicked in while other people were sleeping, which is not required. These problems have rather caused my bills to increase instead of decreasing for efficiency and cost. I can't boost a single room without all the other heating kicking in. Please, I would appreciate it if you could help rectify all these inefficiency problems.
I have an existing Drayton LP522 to control a standard central heating and hot water gas boiler system. There are two thermostats - one in the lounge and one in the hall. These operate in a ‘preferred room’ mode so the lounge is the priority area and is set to ~19C while the hall unit is set at ~17C. My son recommended the Wiser 3 channel system as he thought I had two heating zones whereas I only have one heating zone plus hot water tank system. Can I use the 3 channel unit in the simpler 2 channel mode. The pack came with two smart thermostats.
That was an excellent review. I could do with someone visiting me to discuss installing a total 'smart' heating system. I'm based in Cheshire (Sandbach) and run a Nu-Heat UF wet system on the ground floor with an electric heater in the wc, and upstairs we have standard radiators everywhere and an electric UF system in the en-suite. Can anyone help please?
Tried one of these and after the initial setup of the hubr, it wouldn't let me connect to the hub, just sat there doing nothing. So gave it a few hours to see if it was updating but still no connection. So uninstalled it and took it back to screwfix for a refund. Shame as I liked the potential of the system.
Why isn’t it compatible with Apple Home Kit please? Are you planning on adding it any time soon? If you do, would it be just a software/firmware update or would it be a hardware change?
People keep confusing “losing Wi-Fi” with “losing internet”. You almost never “lose Wi-Fi”. I would want to turn off the wiser mesh network and make it use my Wi-Fi system. It’s likely the wiser mesh will interfere with themwifi spectrum like a Sonos system does too.
I Installed Wiser last November - 10 TRV’s on 11 Rads plus 3 wall stats controlling rooms with two rads in. I had the internal electrical connections in the boiler made at the annual service - this was switched as OPENTHERM isn’t available on my boiler. I had two issues The first with my Valliant boiler having a setting linked to the previous Valliant RF stat, that led to short modulation and rads only getting to 45 degrees. This was fixed by my service engineer identifying the setting and changing it. The second was two “designer” rads which had TRVs that accepted the Drayton standard TRV fitting but the actuating pins were too short for the Drayton TRV head to calibrate and operate correctly. These will have to be swapped out. The house now has a much better heat profile than when using one RF stat - no room is too warm or cold when moving from room to room. Plus rooms not in use are held at a minimum and boosted when necessary. The Insight part of the app is very useful for tuning the room temps. I also had my Smart meters changed to SMETS2 and purchased the £15 Home Display Unit from Drayton to enhance the the Insights+ functions. The app guides you through this, checks meter compatibility and provides the HDU order form. The HDU connects the app to your gas and electric meters and gives real time and historic stats on your usage. It also shows which rooms heat up / cool down slowly or quickly - i have used this recently to identify and reduce heating times in rooms to reduce gas usage. At the present time I am happy with it but feel that at least twelve months of use is needed to review properly. I particularly interested in how long the batteries last given the number of devices I have installed For transparency - I work for the parent company to Drayton, but have no connection with the design, manufacture, marketing or sales of the product. The product was purchased because my existing RF stat had failed.
Only with one account via IFTTT just now (if 2 ppl are using the 1 account when 1 leaves the area it'll set thermostat to away even if other person is in the house), used to work with a family account with a 3rd party on IFTTT which worked properly but the 3rd party pulled out. Wiser are working on it though according to IT or whomever it was I spoke to
Hi, I have an oil fired boiler. I can turn the rads on upstairs and downstairs separately and also the hot water separately. What would I need to keep the 3 separate functions but to make them voice controlled. Please
