Re: Heatmiser Central Heating Thermostat

I have got 13 of these stats connected to 4 of their UH1 controllers=20
for my underfloor heating system. I have used their sofware to=20
programme the stats and set date and time etc. something that would=20
be very labourious manually. Everything works ok, but it is very=20
slow to update the stats and the sofware is rudimentary and not=20
entirely stable. It is however the best networked setup I have seen=20
on the market (within the bounds of what mere mortals can afford -=20
unlike SmartKontrols) and the room stats are attractive and well=20
made. Doesnt cost the earth either - from memory, stats were =A330ish=20
each and UH1 controllers =A380.

This system is crying out to be opened up to allow integration with=20
outh HA systems, it baffles me why the Heatmiser folks wont do this.
