Edge insulation to stop cold bridging at the perimeter of the slab would be beneficial.
Agree with Dave 150mm minimum
pay for insulation once, pay for energy every month!!
The object is to save you having to pull the old ceiling down if you don’t want to, so screw/nail timber around the perimeter and in a regular spaced interval to catch your ceiling plasterboard.
In my area we call it brandering.
Happy for you to have that opinion and I know other sparks feel the same, just offering the reason for the 3 wires.
i earth the back of the box with a flying lead
Best find your nearest transmitter, find what band it is and buy that type of aerial.
a metal one
im sure it would be better than the plastic thing at £40
Those 2 black wires are probably the neon on the front? So put them in the load terminals and it will light up when the switch is on.
earths go together in that one terminal
If I had external pipework, I think I would have some trace heating as a precaution, controlled via a frost stat or self regulating type, prior to the insulation going on
No I have a combi, as unfortunately no space for a cylinder. so it’s a 2 core cable to the sense 2 and a 2 core cable to the weather comp sensor. Straight from the boiler
I have the sense 2, man it’s complicated!!
it falls out with the domestic range so the standard WB engineers don’t know much about it, you need to speak to their technical dept.
I was thinking about opentherm.
this article explains it better.

y plan isn’t hot water priority
its when the boiler can heat the cylinder at a very high temp for good recovery times and then switch to heating mode on a low temp
