Smart thermostat question
Hi all,I have just moved in my new flat and I would like to do some smart home improvements.
I have 2 Danfoss TP5000 Si installed: 1 is controlling the master bedroom and 1 is controlling the rest of the flat.
I would like to install a smart thermostat which can control, as the old ones, the bedroom and the rest of the house.
Do you think I will need 2 devices?
If so, is any kind of bundle with a master/slave smart thermostat with an affordable price?
Can you advise any good ones?
Many thanks Any help? Good question, I have Danfoss programer downstairs and a Danfoss T500 upstairs. I can understand you wanting to get rid of them.
I was going to replace it with something from Honeywell, but thinking about Nest thermostats. But I think I would need two.
Others might be able to help. What CH system do you have, S-Plan Plus? I have no idea https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/[email protected]/png/64/1f92d.png I suspect its S Plan. Have a look in your 'airing cupboard' and post some pics. I'm not sure is that what you mean https://www.avforums.com/attachments/img_6948-jpg.1218329/ or maybe this https://www.avforums.com/attachments/img_6947-jpg.1218332/ I’d hazard a guess that you have a combi so no airing cupboard with a tank etc?
If so you’ll have 2 x zone valves somewhere. Under the stairs or in the cupboard on the landing would be my guess.
To put in a smart thermostat like hive / nest you’ll need to wire in a wireless receiver per zone so in your case two.
not something I’d recommend if you never done it before.
just had a look at your first picture, the black cables that come out of that junction box will be connected to your zones I believe those are the two valves

There is a ceiling hatch which I don't have access

And this is the wiring inside the boiler
https://www.avforums.com/attachments/img_6951-jpg.1218354/ Don’t worry about the hatch or the boiler, the wiring would be at those valves into the junction box.
you would have to disconnect the existing stats and wire in 2 x wireless receivers.
If you went the Hive route you would need 2x hive stats, 2 x hive single channel receivers and 1 x hub. These can be found pretty cheap on amazon (Black Friday) and eBay but I’d imagine you’ll need to sort installation.
