Convection heater electronic switch?

[st07]

Hi,

My mum has two convection (internal brick, whatever they're called) heaters in her flat. I was wondering if there was any kind of single switch available to save her having to go to each heater and switching it on/off via the wall. For example, like those radio-controlled plugs you can get in Maplin, only something that fits a heater faceplate...

Many thanks

I can’t see why you would want to? In most cases storage heaters do use 13 amp and one could use a plug and socket although I would not want to. The way storage heaters work is to switch on at night and heat the bricks and then release heat over an extended period during the day. The remote would only work when power is on so you could only use it 11pm to 6am and one normally would only switch off in the summer and on in winter seems a lot of expense to switch on and off twice a year?

The heater is indeed Eco7 but also has another feed for boost. It is the boost which I'd like to control

The boost function should ideally be taken from a time period source so it isnt accidently left on, such as this:
