Best Wireless Thermostat/Programmer

[planemad]

I'm looking over the next few days to get a new Wireless Thermostat/Programmer (I currently do not have one)

I have a new Vaillant Ecotec 831 installed and would like to know what would be the best Wireless Thermostat/Programmer to pair it up with?

I want the standard functions with daily on/off progs that I can programme.
The unit must be reliable and look good.

Look Forward to your suggestions.

Many Thanks

Honeywell CM series - use 'em all the time no probs. Get the 7 day porgrammable type, as straightforward to use as you like, or use all the bells and whistles if you really want to.

Not the cheapest, but IMHO, the best

Sorry for manners was typing quick and forgot.

just looked on their website and it seems like a very good unit.
Will purchase one online and get it fitted.

Would you know how to wire this to a Ecotec 831

Thanks

follow the wiring instructions, better yet, assuming the gas installer you will be using (to get the ecotec fitted/commissioned/registered to manufacturers spec/buildingregs) is kosher, he will have his own tame spark (I do) tp do it correctly and better yet safely, issuing you with a certificate to that effect for your homesellers pack.

boiler already installed (12 month ago).
I will be connecting the control panel myself.

Many Thanks

Wiring diagrams for the controller and the boiler are quite clear - download here and here - page 29
