Digistat Optimiser problem

[ban-all-sheds]

I've got a Worcester Bosch with a Digistat Optimiser, had it for 6-7 years.

Recently it developed a fault where the signal wasn't reaching the boiler.

It's not the batteries in the transmitter - they were replaced not long ago, and there was no low battery warning on the display. And anyway I replaced them again JIC....

It's as if the transmitter has suddenly got less powerful, or the receiver less sensitive, but I've not inadvertently bathed either one in acid, or hit them with a hammer, nor have I built any metal walls etc. Everything still works 100% fine, but I've had to move the transmitter close to the boiler, which is a right PITA.

Any thoughts on what could be wrong? Anybody ever encountered this?

Not to sound daft, but ya aint removed it, or got anything like a mirro or big kitchen appliance between stat and reciever have you?

Nope - absolutely nothing has changed - the thing is (well, was) where it had been for years, no new or moved appliances, just one morning woke up and thought "**** me it's cold", found the red signal light on boiler permanently on...

Drayton wireless controls are amongst the most unreliable you can buy.

Yours is a Drayton with Bosch printed on it.

*%$+&!!!

Just seemed odd that it would go wrong in this way - if it had just packed up that would sort of make more sense...

I like the honeywell ones - so damn easy to use and prog in lol

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Yeah, but unless I want an external receiver unit next to the boiler, I'm stuck with the Drayton....
