PeterW Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Controller isn’t seeing the stats - are they wired or wireless ..? If wireless, start by changing the batteries in the stats and check that by manually changing the status of the heating (do these show sun/moon etc..??) and see if they trigger after that.

PeterW Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 You can always pull the wiring and check by adding a short plug socket and wiring it direct to see if it moves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nod Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thank you to Peter W for responding Very difficult when someone posts a picture and asks What wrong with this As you thought not a Plumbing issue Swapped the stats and actuators Nothing Left the actuators off the two effected zones Slowly stated to get some heat in the pipes Electrical then Put a tester on all the actuators The two effected had no power going out I took backplate off the two effected stats and found a live feed had snapped Half a day for me Half an hour for a good electrician Great feeling when those caps pop up on the actuators 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down here, there is a group of female, cold water swimmers. They are called The Blue Tits. I wish the ones that park in the road, blocking in legitimately parked cars, would fail to rise.

The issue with some of these Heatmiser stats is they need to bend the cables at 180 degrees to get into the connectors and they get continually flexed when the face places are installed.
