Title: RE: [ukha_d] Automating the Central Heating

Mark,
I have a similar system to your description, I found that simply bridging two of the cores between the controller & boiler activates the heating (the two black wires on my system). (with the controller left in place)

OK, it is finally time to look at this. This AD10 is looking very lonely so
want to get it online. System is a Combination boiler with an external
"programmable" [sic] electronic timer. The whole area seems to be powered
from a fused spur (Ugly switch on the landing can cut power to the boiler
(and I suspect to the alarm system!).

As with everything else I want to be able to unautomate if/when I move
house.

I wondered about using an AW10 to replace the Fused Switch or put inline
with it or something but I suspect this might kill the alarm and would mean
I have no hot water without any power to the boiler. So it looks like the
timer is the candidate. Seems to be wired in with alarm style wiring so I
imagine it is a case of removing the wiring from the timer and adding it to
the AD10. Or should I be combining the two in some way?

Any good resources on programmable timers or replacing them on the web?
Searched for a while tonight but didn't come up wuth anything and I know a
few people have been doing this recently so thought I'd ask about their
particular challenges and experiences.

Thanks,

Mark.
