Salus boiler thermostat / conflicting

[dieselboy]

In that case, it's probably not another sender, but could just be interference from something she's bought recently. My TV changes to AV everytime I get a text message.....

Either way, it's the stat. Personally, I would consider installing a proper one with wires and throwing that thing in the bin.

Yep I started explaining interference to her and she mentioned she moved her DAB radio next to the boiler recently (its in the kitchen) so she moved that and powered it off but the boiler kept going on / off until we changed the stat to a warmer temperature than the room.

I might be able to do a better fault find when I'm actually there rather than try and explain to my 67 yr old nan.

And I do agree with you. I don't like wireless devices full stop.

There's no comma in my question!

Sorry for the misinterpretation, road spray.

Mine does as well, maybe we have the same frequency?

What sort of range do you think they have?

Dunno, but ring yours at 2310 UK time and I'll see what happens...

Is yours set to 1 up, 6 down 1 up?

Think I 'd better change it tomorrow, what with you and your time differences and all!

You're not wrong. Infuriates me, though.

Joking aside mate, if you want i can call my plumber to see what he would charge to come & have a look, he owes me enough favours & won't charge alot just for looking. It could be something simple that he can fix there & then.

Our wireless doorbell occassionally goes off for no apparent reason. Sometimes at 3am in the morning which makes you jump out of bed, believe me!
Never seen anyone at any of the other houses in the street, not even a garage door opening. We live in a road with no house behind us, so it has to be someone we can see.
Failing that the unit is buggered. Just bear that in mind....

I see what you've done there.

It's a bungalow in a cul-de-sac type road and she doesn't know - I asked that one! I'm guessing either a neighbor or someone "beyond the garden bush" has had a replacement and been fitted with the same stat make - most likely by the same company that "know nothing about it" like you mentioned.

Not really but could do with a quick once over.

If she is old, and you fix it, make sure you charge her over 20,000 quid.

I've seen rogue traders, s'easy.

Why is it dirty?

Does she live in a block where they've had a lot done together? From my experience of new builds, I would say it's entirely plausible that they've left them all on the same frequency and everyone's boilers are going mad.
