Hi, I need to swap over this digital thermostat to a new one as this old has stopped working. I've purchased the "Drayton Digistat Wireless Thermostat" as I thought they looked pretty much identicle.
When I got to the property, the one in the photo below is screwed onto the wall, just a battery powered, wireless thermostat. But I wasn't able to find a reciever by the boiler or anywhere else. The boiler just has a fused spur with a 3 core flex into the boiler to power it.
I don't understand how that thermostat could've ever worked? Unless it's programmed directly into the boiler somehow? (As you can tell I'm not massively clued up on heating systems).
So I was expecting to see a reciever, swap that over with the new and link the new thermostat up. When I couldn't find one, I didn't think it'd be an issue as I can just wire a new 5 core cable directly from the boiler into my new reciever but unfortunatly can't access the wiring for the boiler as somebody has built a huge built in wardrobe set covering it!
So I'm returning in a week or so once they customer has had someone cut the wardrobe so I can gain access properly to the boiler. I just wanted to go back knowing exactly what's needed. Can anyone explain how the old would've worked?
Thanks
Edit: Have attached a photo of the boiler.
