I am not a gas engineer or domestic electrician, but have electrical experience so should understand the answers.
Question does not relate to a specific installation (at this stage).
Scenario:
House used as Air B+B
Intend to install boiler and timer in a storage area where guests will not have access.
Timer will be set for specific hours
I want to give guests an option to boost heating when they are present.
If I understand correctly most modern gas combi systems are wired with live going to timer, then to thermostat,then to boiler (often the SL connection).
If I install a timer of the type typically used for an immersion heater (beside the thermostat) with timer output going to the thermostat input (same connection as coming from timer) I assume this remote boost will have same effect as the boost on the hidden timer?
If I am correct, any issues with doing this?
Q2 Assuming above works as I described does anyone have any suggestions for a very simple 2 wire wifi (smart) device or thermostat that would allow me to boost remotely from an app?
If I have misunderstood how the heating system works I am happy for this to be pointed out.
Thanks ColinK
