crispy_wafer Posted August 16, 2024 Share Posted August 16, 2024 Confused... Trying to plan the backbox layout in one of my cupboards for my bathroom UFH and towel rail controls, and sort the first fix electrics for the spark at the location (as in pull in the required qty and type of cable). to date I've run a length of 2.5 t+e to the location from the CU. I want a separate control device for each. Looking at the installation docs for UFH mat, I need an FCU too. So that's 3 backboxes. Do I need to plan in an FCU for the towel rail too? Making 4? So then does that mean I need 2 cables from the CU, one for each? In practice how's this scenario normally dealt with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy_wafer Posted August 16, 2024 Author Share Posted August 16, 2024 Actually I could use a 2 channel unit, rather than separate units. That could simplify matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy_wafer Posted August 27, 2024 Author Share Posted August 27, 2024 Decided to use a dual control thermosphere dc-w-01 device, to minimise the clutter, and simplify the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Jones Posted August 28, 2024 Share Posted August 28, 2024 we ran all our towel rads (electric so they can be used independant of ASHP) of a single smart breaker in fusebox. Each has a TRV for user preference. Then Home Assistant controlls the whole lot, enables dumping of power into them based on the half hourly rate from octopus etc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
