Not got the stats yet chap - hence my need to understand before I buy
them. They are £100 per room !

Hi Gareth

If it works as i suspect then its fine......Can you check to see if there
is
a conventional relay or solid state relay located in the room stat....???
If
so the pilot wire only has to provide current for the relay coil
(mA).......
