Hi I’m getting quotes for a new boiler along with rad’s and trv’s. Is there a cost effective way I can make use of smartthings to control my heating? I’m looking at a small Worchester Bosh combi boiler Do i need a Nest or similar. Can I not control the boiler direct responding to smartthing senso…

Have a look at Honeywell evohome. it will soon be supported by smartthings and works great as well as saving money

If you have a double gang socket close to your boiler you could power it (the boiler) and the pump via 13 Amp plugs and 2 controllable sockets - one for boiler and the other for a pump. If you have a timer inside your house it will need to be switched on all of the time. You can control directly, u…

The Honeywell EVOHOME will be supported soon. The integration is complete and certified. We’re in final rounds of testing with Honeywell.

I did something similar a while ago… Maybe that gives you ideas. [image] Water Heater Automation Projects & Stories Create an intelligent timer for my water heater to save energy and turn it off when I don’t need hot water for a while

Excellent idea - save the planet one water heater at a time:-)

I have my NEST controlled by ST - it takes away the ‘hassle’ of having separate devices for pumps and power, integrates the thermostat control, acts as another presence sensor (sort of) etc.

I did something similar in my old flat when the timer broke on the boiler. put the boilers plug on one of those mechanical timer things. worked fine but i was concerned it may not be good for the boiler with the power being turned of and on every day how do i separate …

For using On/Off timers on a boiler I’d be very careful of this. Most boilers need permanent lives to them, as they have pump overrun functions built in to ensure that once the boiler is turned off, that it continues to pump the hot water through the boiler until it cools down enough. You could do r…

My control timer/switch used to switch the pump and boiler on/off; I’ve never noticed the boiler continue to pump after it’s been switched off. I’ve had this solution in place for a few years and the boiler’s been serviced without any problems being reported. Separating the electricity supply will …

I would go and get a hold of the installation manual of your boiler and double check what it says. Mine specifically says that the boiler requires a permanent live and that the pump is wired via the boiler to receive it’s power and switch control. Yours may be fine, but it would be remiss to not le…
