Is there such thing as a remote thermostat?

[Lampwick]

Hi all.
I have my central heating thermostat mounted on a wall in a totally silly place.
What I need to do ideally is replace the thermostat with a reciever box and then have a remote sensor in another, more suitable location.
Want to avoid the hassle of chasing in a new thermostat, just need a quick remote/reciever solution.
I've had a good look around but am having trouble finding something suitable. Anyone have any ideas where I may be able to find them?

Cheers all!

most plumbers merchants do wireless rf stats

one slight problem though (although i also confees i have not looked at one)

I assume the radio receiver will require a live neutral and earth giving a switched live. Most modern stats only have live, switched live , neutral and earth, which means it wont work where old stat was.

How ever you may want to put the receiver near the time switch as this will be where the existing stat is wired to, and there will also be live neutral and earth

the stat runs on long life batteries the reciver is wired to the boiler at the boiler
breezer i dismay

liked the rubber tree tho

...and the receiver will usually have Live Neutral and Earth connections to power it, plus Common, Call for Heat and Satisfied. This allows all combinations of mains and low voltage controls on boilers, etc. but be careful you understand what you're connecting to what. In most cases, all you need to do is connect the 'external thermostat' connections on the boiler to Common and Call for Heat on the receiver.

Honeywell CM67 works well, fitted a few with no probs or simpler Drayton RF Digistat range work well.
