WiFi thermostat install

[Dino Felisberto]

Hi there, I’m looking to replace my old analog thermostat with a new WiFi one I bought however I will need to do a little rewiring and some help would be very welcomed. I only have 2 wires for the old thermostat so I will need to relocate and rewire. Can anyone help as to what wires should go where. Thank you

You don't appear to give any details of your existing room thermostat. However, if the "only two wires" from the thermostat to which you refer to are connected to terminals 1 & 2 shown below.....

....then the wires will go to the terminals marked 'dry contact' 1 and 2 at your new thermostat. It's a simple on/off switch and as you can see, the symbols in both diagrams are the same.

In addition, the new thermostat requires a permanent 230V mains supply to power it. This should be connected to terminals 3 & 4 below and should come from the same 3A fused supply that supplies the boiler.

They can be connected to the N and L at the 'Mains Terminal Block' provided you can access them without opening up a room sealed part of the boiler to do so. If the terminals are inside a room sealed compartment, [This should only be opened by an RGI (Gassafe) engineer who can make sure it is properly sealed up again] then it is possible to take the supply directly from the boiler's fused spur L & N 'load' terminals instead.
