Dead handy.
If you pull a bird you can keep the heating on with one press of a button until she gets undressed :smile:

yeah i remember wiring them up about 5 years ago and found them to be really installer friendly from a sparks point of view, now i just feel like an idiot asking the customer to help me with it lol

If you use 240v you need to remove 24v link. Why not wire the roomstat to 24v?
It does sound like you may have wrong plug in timer.

seems i'm not the only one who struggles with vaillant so no need to go back to high school or get counselling

yeah Ollieg, thats what i understand, if using 240v, remove the 24v link but why on the vaillant website does it show a 240v stat being compatible with the timeclock 160 which i used, it's the only thing i didn't try (with the link in) so maybe it would work although i can't see how.

I bet the 160 is for use with the ebus roomstat.
I have a guide in the van but dont remember seeing 160 on it.
