Re: Automating a thermostat

["Dan Khan \(Work\)" <dhk@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the link - does not look like an easy job at all.  Has anyone
installed on of these in their house in a retrofit application?

Also, the warning says:"Note: The thermostat contains 3 low voltage
relays
that are NOT suitable for switching 240V mains power. If your boiler
requires a thermostat capable of switching high voltages you will need to
add external relays. This is NOT an easy DIY job !"

Is there an easy way to tell if my boiler requires a thermostat that can
switch mains power?
