OK not strictly computer related, but its electronic!

Looking for a supplier for a Drayton RF3i wireless room stat.

Anyone know of any inexpensive sources? Have STFI but there are very few sites that list it that will sell to public.

TIA

been looking for one recently as well. - Group Buy ?

Deano

p.s. though I'm not sure it comes under the "cheap" category as far as thermostats go.

Try,
plumbcenter,these are expensive pieces of kit,we only normally use the Worcestor/bosch one because we only normally fit Worcestor bosch boilers.
Are you after one with a built in timeclock to tell the heating/hotwater when to come on,or just a roomstat?
I think most have a timer built in?

Also:You need a degree in elctronics on programming them

Deano, agree on the 'not cheap' comment hence the request.

Scooby nutter, got a separate timer, want the programmable temperature by time of day and the smart mode that detects ambient temperature and delays startup if possible.

Seem plumb centers price thanks

Primarily I want to relocate the stat from the utilty room to somewhere more sensible and repsentative of the actual temperature in the majority of the house.(without a lot of hassle)

But I do like something with a few extra features

Having new boiler fitted next week, and bigger rad in lounge which will be directly under the room stat, so its got to move and I dont relish chasing the walls to bury the cable, so wireless route a must, and gizmos a necessity

Me too, my thermostat makes all sorts of buzzing noises! I think a digital one would look very swanky!
