RE: Automate my central heating - How?

["Kenneth Watt" <kennethwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Justin,

Scary stuff, I wanted to do this in my last house that had a combi,
here's the hurdles:

1. You need to find out what wiring fires the boiler on from both the
boiler stat and the room stat.

2. If it's off the internal timer, or a separate timer, you need to
isolate which wires switch the boiler stat, t  bring the boiler on.

3. You need to find the *INTERNAL* switching voltage of the boiler, some
operate on 24V, some on 12V and most on 240AC.

Then you can start to figure out how or what you want t  do.

Subject: [ukha_d] Automate my central heating - How?

I am clueless when it comes to electrics so I thought I would ask before
I
blow somthing up!

I would like t  be able to control my gas combi boiler using X10 but am
not
t  sure how to go about it.
The central heating works on a built in timer at the moment (not while
it's
this hot though!) but there is a thermostat in the garage (where the
boiler
is).
Would it be possible to replace this thermostat with an AD10 ? I think
the
thermostat switches 220V live though. Does that sound right?

Cheers,
Justin
