Muggles explain

That's why I'm in here DIYNOT

Two wires...two terminals. Are you really suggesting you're confused by that? Put one wire in one terminal, and the other wire in the other terminal. Make sure you turn off the power before you do this, and turn it back on again once you've finished

Ok but is there any specific order to put the wires I mean and also the new thermostat also has a terminal at bottom so that's three in total

Look at pics mate rather than casting assumptions

The bottom terminal is earth if required, but not in your case. 2 wires 2 terminals, go for it.

thanks guys is there any way around I need to wire the new thermostat or can I put the wires in any ports?

as on salus one says L and other SL

whereas on the old Honeywell thermostat they are in port 1 and 3

Doesnt really matter which way around, its just a simple switch. If you had read the manual it does state that the earth connection is there purely to stick an earth wire if there is one but its not required. I fitted one yesterday which had the neutral as well, which also isnt required so just cut the bare wire off and put some tape round it.

They really are about the easiest thing to fit.
