Child proof programmer for crazy old woman ?

[basildog]

Ok I am after a programmer that Mother can turn on but not get at the controls ?
Old people are not nice to look at and serve no useful purpose but kind of feel sorry for the old girl but losing her marbles !
She keeps messing up programmer well and anything she touches !
Sad thing old age as it does not come alone !

Set it all up then hide it from her lol

Seriously though we have had this problem before, some people just can't help but fiddle with it.

We normally set up the heating on timed and show them the boost button

Leave hot water on continuos

Mark thermostat with a marker at the correct temp so if they move it up or down they can see where it should be

Set up the programmer up and mount it high or out of sight. Or change to a programable room stat you can lock with a boost button ? One must exist?

 

[basildog]

She would find it and fiddle !
She has dementia so it is a nightmare !

into the loft it goes

Put a dummy one on the wall
Or a wireless one not paired to anything

You can get metal covers with a lock on. Seen them in social housing where people have social issues so cant tamper with heating and cause issues with other occupants.

 

[Ermintrude]

Stats work ok in metal boxes?

 

[Shirty]

No timer in the box and for room stat they had it pre set with a frost stat cover over it!
