Said it has stopped vibrating. She is picking it up later tonight. (She is really a redhead but has the decency to dye it blonde). This has gone so far off topic it is now silly Oh.

newhome Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 Hey, @Nickfromwales and @PeterW dinnae be coming oop the day. It’s fair jeelit ootside but bonny enough tae get the washing oot . I’m fair scunnered wit the snow. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhome Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 Sooooo! Finally bringing this back to captain sensible land and heating (yeah boring I know!). Electric has been up and down more times than a tart’s knickers today and right on cue the Heat Miser controller has sprung back into life. Clearly it’s the wrong type of snow for an electricity supply which ain’t great when you’re trying to work over VPN and the router goes off whenever the supply cuts out. Grabbed some photos before normal service is resumed and all the settings disappear again. It also might explain why the manifolds upstairs call for heat as it looks like they come on sometimes despite being set to frost. I never go in that half of the house so am not familiar with what happens re the room stats there so wasn’t aware they did that First photo is how things normally look with the controller showing ???? Second and third photos show controller showing proper temperatures and status post a power cut which alerted me to the fact that some upstairs rooms are allegedly heating despite being set to frost (see photo 4) which clearly means they are set incorrectly. I don’t think the upstairs ever gets any heat in any of the rooms just now anyway so despite saying heating they ain’t!

newhome Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 This is a weird one too. Room stat says 20 degrees which is BS. The bolometer (or bollockmeter according to @SteamyTea) says 7.4 degrees. Bloody baltic in there so it’s the room stat talking bollocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I think it's possible to calibrate Heatmiser stats but I thought they could only be adjusted a few degrees? Perhaps I'm wrong and someone messed with the calibration by mistake? Otherwise yes it's faulty. Edited March 2, 2018 by Temp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did use to work but went wrong at around Christmas time. @PeterW does this mean I need a new room stat after all? This is the one you were going to move elsewhere but looks like it may be cream crackered. Maybe it froze to death out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
